Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a problem or not to be honest, but thought that it can't hurt to ask anyway. Here's the form:
Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
Current Problem - He started shedding on Friday on his spines, and since then, this bit of shed has been coming off fine, but it has not spread at all really, only his spines are shedding, he is otherwise normal. Not really sure if this is a cause for concern, as it has never happened before.
Thanks
Chameleon Info:
