Shedding

[ogomogo]

My chameleon (6 month old veiled chameleon) started shedding 3 days ago.But he only shed his head in first and second day and shedding stopped. He is not shedding now. Is this normal?

 

[DeviousMike]

Yup its fine.

 

[ogomogo]

Oh, thanks. So, will he continue his shedding or is he done ?

 

[mowryrd]

Don't know if it's normal but mine does it too. Even his body sheds seperate, top and then bottom.

As juveniles, their sheds will be all at once and they can probably finish a full shed in a day. But as they mature their body's will grow and their skin will become thicker, so it won't be as easy for them to shed like their taking off a new winter coat. They'll shed their tails one day, next day their heads. To help with their sheddings when they're older, bump up their misting sessions daily or some other way to help keep up humidity.
