I'm really worried about steve. His shed has stayed like this and I've tried helping him but it's been staying the same. Does anyone know what this is? Also don't know if related but he is extra grumpy in the mornings. This humidity is always very high and currently I have the reptiles fogger

Hi. How have you been trying to help him? If you’ve been wetting him, that’s only going to make the shed stick more. Chameleons are dry shedders. Why is your humidity always high? Is it intentional? It should be kept between 30-50% during the day and no Fogger used during the day. At night when it’s cooler, you can use a Fogger and humidity can spike as high as 100%. It may be worth it to have all of your husbandry reviewed just to make sure all is correct, as errors can cause shedding issues.
