Shedding

[Lonise]

I've had my Senegal female cham since April 19th. She was a juvenile when I got her. She eats alot and this is the second time in 2 months that she is shedding! Am I feeding her too much?

As a juvenile, once a month is normal. Panther chameleons sometimes shed twice in a month when they are growing. While they are growing you should try to feed the widest variety of well gut loaded feeders you can get and really should not worry about quantity until they are of adult size and age. They will slow down their feeding when they are older. If you notice uneaten feeders then scale back.

She never leaves uneaten feeders! I haven't fed her today because the last time she shed she was not interested in eating. But she usually eats about 7-10 crickets a day!

my 4 month panther can and normally will eat that much twice in one day with some phoenix worms or fruit flies. sometimes 10-15 in the morning than maybe 5-20 more in the afternoon. as well has sheded, 3 times in the 2.5 months ive had him

No, little ones are growing fast, hence the frequent shedding.
Under 4 months, they shed really fast.
I see one of my little guys doing the yawning, streatching excercise, which tells me that he will shed soon. Then, and next morning, there are pieces of shed skin all over the cage!! He's all done! and standing proudly sporting his new 'suite'
