quick ? about shedding

[vgaines]

My Veiled Chameleon, Raine, is aprox. 2 months old. ( I have other posts on here). I just have a quick question. She is starting to shed and one of her eyes has some dead skin that has not come off yet. I see her rubbing her face and figured out it was because of the dead skin. What can I do to help in the shedding process. I have had better luck with keeping humidity up since I put a clear shower curtain around three sides and added a live plant. It is so tempting to HELP it come off but I know that is not the best thing to do. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for ALL of y'all's advice on all of my posts. I am so lucky and happy to have found this forum..

Extra mistings with warm water can help.

thats all.

That's what I do during shedding, I'll up my mistings a bit and use a warm water. I'll test the water on my hand too, just to be sure it's not too warm.

Allow it to happen naturally -- it's never a good idea to peel it for them. It's just an itchy process and will be over soon!

Shedding

Arrived home from work this afternoon and poor Raine looks miserable. Her whole body is shedding. I took your advice and misted her with warm water. She's in her cage rubbing her face all over everything. lol Of course she decided to shed the day I got her worm order in. Discovered that the butter worms are to big for her but that's ok. I have a Crested Gecko that will love them I'm sure. I will wait until tomorrow to try giving her the Phoenix Worms. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she likes them.

Thanks again for your advice. I know I am a overly protective chameleon mom but I can't help myself. She is just so darn cute.

The shedding can also cause them to have very little appetite for a few days beforehand.
Glad that Raine is doing better!

Is it normal for shedding to take 3-4 days? I have been doing the warm misting twice a day but she hates them and runs. lol At least it has come off of her eyes and back. Still some on tail, legs and head. I am starting to think that Raine enjoys making me worry.

That explains a lot! Thanks
