Shedding in Parts

My chameleon is shedding his skin in parts. He was done with his body a day ago and is now starting on his tail. Is this normal, or should he be shedding all at once? Am I lacking something in his diet?

Sounds normal to me. As they get nearer to maturity, their growth rate slows right down lthough they never actually stop growing. As adults they do shed differents parts at a time over several days and sometimes it can seem as though they are always shedding one part or another! As babies they just seem to pop out of the skin in a matter of hours. Amy is 9 months old now and her last two sheds have been partial ones.

My cham sheds slower on the tail but it all starts at the same time it just takes longer for the tail skin to fall off

I would cut out the meal worms. If you insist on meal worms cut it back to like 2-3 a month.


Try ti stick to this suppliment schedule.

Week1 m-f--calcium
sat-- nothing
sun-- calcium+D3
Week2 m-f--calcium
sat- nothing
sun--multivitamin
Week3-- Repeat week1
Week4-- Repeat week2
