Yep. Just keep the humidity up, and watch the fun! Get pics if you can, they always look so grumpy!

Yeah I noticed that. She's turning into her angry colors....I thought I saw it this morning but wasn't sure. Then sure enough I got home and it was really shedding. Is her head the only place shell shed. i can't see it anywhere else...

It will spread. She may thrash around and yawn to help break it. There will be lots of rubbing on branches too. If your lucky, youll see her reach her hind leg up and scratch her face like a dog!

Oh yep. I see very little of it right by her head. She's really just standing there right now. I hope it all goes well.

It will go fine
Just pay attention to the toes and spikes, as if they dont shed properly it can cut off the circulation to that part, and they can lose it. The little bits can take days to come off. The bulk should come off the first day or so.

How interesting, my little Tobias started to shed this morning too! I woke up, looked at him and was like
He doesnt seems to be eating as much, I read that this is normal.

Yep. Must be a good day. I'm hoping it goes good, cause this is the first time she's shed with me. How often should I mist.?

Yep. Must be a good day.
I mist 8 times a day regularly. I just throw maybe 2 more cycles into the times the cage would usually dry out. So just whatever really. Im sure they would shed just fine without extra mistings, just makes it a little easier on them

Its so exciting! I believe the problems Ive been having with Stella have effected her shedding schedule. Its been 3 months or so since she last shed, thats the longest shes ever gone. Shes been doing a ton better with Xanthoman's and others help.
It seems like a pretty thick layer is coming off this time, like multiple sheds at once. Im keeping a close eye on her for this shed.

Good deal, Stella still has a long way to go. I gave her a shower about 45min before lights out. Hopefully she will make more significant progress tomarrow.

Nothing is better than a great shedding picture...even if makes your chameleon look like the grand dragon of the local KKK....

Hehe. I got some pics. I missed a lot of it when I went out for supper. Now its only on her legs and little under her chin and tail. Pretty good. Not scary at all, pretty cool actually.

Others are funnier...but you could petition Brad, I guess. I got feedback on my avatar suggesting it looked like the grand dragon at a KKK event...that's what inspired my comment.

Post them! Shed pictures are great. The look on the animal's face is always so "yeah, what's it to you?"

I'm gonna post them tomorrow after school. I have pictures when it first started, and right now. She's sleeping in the last ones though. The first ones she was not happy. She was just staring at me. lol.
