Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about. So I have noticed my chameleon sheds in sections. Like it will be body first, then head, then after 2-3 days, his upper section (Where the lil spikes are at)
I feel like his Upper section is a shed behind. Can't post recent pics because I am at work.
