My cham is ~11 months old and shed approximately two weeks ago, however, I don't think the skin came off the eye "orbits". They look very dry (not the eye itself). There are a couple real small spots in the body that are still there too. I don't seem him rubbing too much lately trying to remove the remaining skin (only very rarely), but I do believe it is bothering him.
My humidity stays roughly 50% and I leave the misting system (pro mist) on ~every other day for about a half hour simulating a shower. He does seem to enjoy the shower when it happens. (sorry this wasn't clear, I also mist 2-3 short intervals during the day for "regular" misting)
I don't think my cham is dehydrated because urates look good and I've seen him drinking from dripper and during showers/misting, but not sure why he is having trouble with his eyes shedding. I don't think it is an eye infection either (think it is skin that isn't coming off).
Is there anything I can do to make it better? If the skin doesn't come off cleanly/completely will it lead to long term problems. I've only had the chameleon for two months and I think the same thing happened with the first shed.
