Baby veileds can shed every 3-5 weeks until they are about 4-6 months old. They shed their whole body. it can take a few hours to a day, at max 2 days/
After this time frame, it can slow down, to about every 4-8 weeks, though the average is roughly 5.At this time, they may only shed a body part, like a leg, or their tail, or their head. this can take a few hours to a few days.
After a year old, they will probably shed about every 2-3 months. As adults, they normally shed a body part at a time. so one time it will be a leg, then another time it will be their head. etc. This can make it seem like they are in a constant state of shedding. This can take days and days for a full body shed to be completed, if they complete a full shed at all.
When a chameleon is shedding, up their misting sessions and lengths.
NEVER try to pulll stuck skin off, unless it appears to be cutting off circulation to toes, feet, tails, legs. etc. Even then, try a warm shower first.
Place the chameleon on a plant and place both on the floor of a shower. aim the showe rhead towards the wall, so that when the water is on, the water boucnes off the wall and a mist lands on the plant.
Make sure the water is warm, s othat the mist is warm.
If you still find stuck shed cutting off circulation, a vet visit may be in order.
. Raise your humidity and mist your cham's cage more often, this will help with the proccess.
