Scratching

[DopeysMom]

hi everyone !! I am very very new to chameleons. I do know quite a bit, but not a lot about their different behaviors and movements and stuff like that. I've had my little guy for about 4 weeks now. Yesterday he went to the vet due to a respiratory problem, and got an antibiotic. He's been doing much better. I just saw him scratch his face though. Not sure if that's normal or possible because of the medicine or if he just had an itch. So far I've never seen him scratch himself. I'll put a picture up of him below !

They get itches just like we do. If he keeps scratching then I would look further into why

By any chance do you notice the start of shed? Sometimes my boy scratches at himself to get the old skin off.

Mine both scratch like dogs with their back grabby feet when they shed, it's absolutely hilarious to watch!
