Hi everyone,
I have a 4 month old male veiled chameleon eating like a champ and growing like a weed, but his second last shed left a tiny piece on the very tip of his tail.
I was hoping it would come off with this past shed, but it didn't. I've been trying to keep it superhydrated by misting that area directly every chance I get, but it still hasn't come off. It's worrying me now because it's starting to look a bit constricted and knobby.
Should I catch him and gently try to tug it off? I don't want to stress him out, but I also don't want him to lose the tip of his tail. I've tried to slowly creep in with the tweezers, but he spooks and runs away every time.
Has anyone here experienced this? Any advice on how to proceed is greatly appreciated.
