shedding and not eating?

[tryme]

Could it be that my veiled isn't eating atm because he's shedding. I've noticed a bit of skin which hasn't fully come off around his back leg also. I think I may have interupted him when I came in earlier.

Its said that chameleons often do slow down or stop eating when they are shedding.

My cham usually comes down in the morning for his first meal, but didn't a couple days ago, by mid afternoon he was rubbing around trying ot get his shed off, later that night he went back to eating his hordes of crix.

Thanks guys, this is extreemely helpful and a load off my mind. First I run out of food for my Chameleon (his name is Vincent, 5 months old), the place I usually get my crickets is all out, they sell me some wax worms instead, then Vincent stops eating after 2 days of eating only wax worms.

I'm worried out of my mind, he's still not eating after I get some crickets for him. Then 3 days later of not eating, he sheds today! He's still not eating today, but I'll see how he feels tonight and tomorrow morning.

Thanks everyone!
