Shedding

[Vince]

Is it normal for chameleons to become stressed and stay darker color during shedding? And how long should the shedding process last? She has been at it for a week now.

 

[Siders]

Shedding for a week! What is the humidity? and Temp? and how often do you mist? these are all factors as to how long the shed will last. When my Nosy Be sheds it usually lasts no longer than 48 hours at the very most, and yes they will stay a slightly darker colour whilst shedding as it is very annoying and irritating for them.

 

[Vince]

yes a week. I mist one to three times a day. the humidity stays right around 60 to 70 percent.

How old is your cham?

i am not a hundred percent on her age. She has to be at least a year maybe a year and a half. She just had 16 babies two weeks ago, so she would have to be over a year old i would think.
