Shedding Question

[nosybecham]

I got my my baby female (veiled) in December and she shed right away in her new home. She hasn't shed since except for her nostril area once since then...? Is that ok? She seems healthy but how often should they be shedding? Thanks....

It depends on a lot of things, such as the age of the cham and how fast they are growing. I got Amy at 3 months and she shed every month until 6 months, then it slowed right down to every 3 months.

Hopefully all is good then. She is a juvenile, rather than a baby about 2.5 inches in length w/o the tail. She has only shed once on her head.. I am a bit relieved to hear once a mth though. Maybe she is growing slowly...?

I wouldn't worry about a thing!!!! It sounds like she is shedding just as they do.
