No shed in 3 months

[Odyssey350kc]

I have had my female panther chameleon for about three months now, I got her from screameleons at 3 months old with their starter package.

My worry is that she doesn't seem to have shed, or at least not that i have seen. She seems healthy enough, and her droppings look good, they are dark brown with white caps, and i'd say she leaves at least 3 a day for me to pick up.

I'd say she eats about 4-5 crickets a day, but that's about it.

Also she seems very small. Since I got her she has only grown around 2 inches I would guess. she's probably only 6" long at 6 months old. I just got my first male panther today who is only 3 months old and basically the same size as her.

Here's a couple of pics of her. She varies a lot in color from black to white to tan to brown to peach.



What do you guys think?

- Should I be worried about her not shedding?

- Is 6" long an appropriate size for a 6 month old female panther?

- Is 4-5 crickets not enough?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Mine is about the same age. She has not shed in about 2 months. I am still working on resolving her eye issue for about 2 months now, maybe that's why she would not shed?! or it might be regular. Females are always smaller than male panthers, I am sure they will still grow, but at slower pace. Since they don't grow as fast, there is no need for much food either. Mine is getting picky... would not even look at crickets, but hungry for any type of worms.

As they reach maturity they shed less. An adult might not even do a full body shed, just a bit here or there.

It's been a long time since this issue, but I figured I would post an update anyways.

About 3 days after my last post she did a full body shed. Yay

Since then she has shed at least 6 more times, and grown like crazy. Got a good pic of her last shed.
