Shed behavior

My 6ish month old Panther Chameleon is going through his first shed since I got him. Is it normal for him to get super annoyed when he's shedding...I feel like he's trying to pull the pieces off. It's also his whole body that is shedding, not just in parts. he's definitely puffing up and opening his mouth and moving around a lot. Just checking to see if this kind of behavior is normal.
 
i am no expert, but the first shed i witnessed i was amazed my veiled named minion could untwist himself from the positions he got in. i am pretty sure you want to make sure he is well hydrated and for one reason or another my guy ate a lot less than usual. the puffing and yawning is instinctive behavior to loosen the old skin.


they are amazingly captivating creatures.
 
yea he's totally twisting a lot. it's amazing. i've never seen him puff up and move so much...he's pretty hydrated, but he did eat less this morning before the shed started.


they really are amazing animals <3 <3
