[KuangDaoChameleon101]

I have a 4 almost 5 month old Nosy Be panther and he hasn't shedded yet.I read that most should shed about every 2 to 3 weeks before they are a year old.

He'l shed, be patient. My little guy had his first shed with me (2 1/2 mnths old) on Aug 29th and I been waiting for him to shed again and it finally happened yesterday Oct 20th. Nearly 2 months later. All chams are diff. Dont expect 2-3 weeks apart thats jst a ruff estimate.

Hello,
Sorry to cut in, but i have a quick question about my veiled cham not shedding.
He's almost 6 months old, got him at 4wks, he was shedding every 2 to 3 weeks but its been almost 2 months and he's not shedding any more...any ideas as to why?

Babies shed more frequently as they are eating more and growing at a faster rate, as mine got older at about 5 to 6 months they were still growing but it starts to slow so in turn the frequency of shedding will be less. If he/she is still drinking and pooping then they will shed when they are ready

Thanks i was starting to get concerned, but he is drinking but not eating like he use to. I use to open the door and he'd run over as if he'd never been feed, now the crickets stay there most of the day, i see 2 or 3 disappear but he wont eat out of my hand any more (and i dont force it) i do change up his diet (use to eat roaches now he wont go near them) use to like horned worms but not any more, still takes super worms and loves wax worms, has eaten a small pc of banana and has a hubiscus plant in his home (like the dead dry leaves not the flowers) but he's not eating his crickets hardly at all.
So i think he's eating, just not like before, could this be a contributing factor?

He is getting hormonal or is already there! My veiled really cut down on food right around 6 months, all he wanted to do was roam around his cage and look for a lady friend haha!! He is about 9 months now and has slowed down his constant pacing and has picked up on the food intake again, though nothing like he did when he was a baby. They eat less as they get older! Superwomrs are fine to feed but not as an everyday feeder and waxworms are an occasional treat, variety really is key! I had to tough love mine as he only wanted to eat superworms as well, so I stopped giving him them until he went back to eating crickets/dubias!
