Scrachting Like A Dog?

[Creaturelover123]

So, I just got done with spraying Ninja, and when I first started spraying her she moved one of her back legs up and started scrachting her head/neck area.

Is there any explanation for this?

Has anybody elses cham do this before?

Is it a sign of MBD? (I really hope not )

Yes, there is an explanation!

They do this when they shed.

Its the funniest thing ever! ;D

She is probably about to break a shed.

I don't think it's a sign of MBD. I see my guys do it when they are shedding.

Oh, thank gosh!

I thought it was going to be a sign of MBD. Few!

Thank you for replying so fast!

You can see an example of such behavior here, at around 01:25:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1GZvgU5Btk

The first time I saw them do it I freaked a bit, and then laughed really hard lol

It was exactly like that! (She just didn't have all those shed pieces)

I'm no expert or anything, I'm on my first chameleon but mine does that when he's about to shed before I even notice he's peeling. Hope this helps!
