Shedding Issues?

My male seems to have difficulties with shedding. It takes him about 10 days to fully shed, while it takes my two females half a day to shed. All of them are receiving the same care. What could cause this? Any help is appreciated, I didn't think the form would be necessary. If it comes to it, I can fill it out. Thank you:D

If the humidity levels are not high enough in his cage, it can cause problems with shedding. I would suggest upping the mistings when he starts to shed to help him. ALso, a shower will help with excess shed.
some chams jsut have a harder time getting the skin off than others.
 
Is he older then the girls? Seems like as they get older and the time between sheds gets longer, they start to shed in parts, especially the males.

That would explain it. He's never had a problem with shedding until recently, and just about 2 weeks ago my humidifier broke. I'll increase his mistings as you suggested until I get a new humidifier. Thank you!
