ME TOO ME TOO

Anyone that sees this, I need your advice too!

I have a carpet chameleon. I got her 2 weeks ago exactly. She came with bits of skin still stuck on her head and back, Mike from FLChams said she just shed, and today she is shedding again. She is estimated at 10months old, WC. The skin is coming off fine in big pieces and she seems perfectly fine but does this frequent shedding indicate something about her health, growing, and/or age? She has been eating tonssss of food.

Thanks!!
Amanda

Shedding is normal. Just make sure all the skin comes off. Don't like bits of skin stay on the tip of thier tails or on areas that are hard to fall of on thier own. As they grow they shed. If they are growing and shedding you myst be doing something right

NathanUK, about the eyes. Does he do this after he has been misted? What kind of lighting are you using? do his eyes seem clear? If his eyes look clear and both look the same, he is just cleaning his eye, that is normal. If his eye seems cloudy it is because he has something in his eye or you have the wrong lighting. Share some info and pics of your setup. There is a sticky in this forum about how to ask for help.
