Shedding??

[flaminglazer72]

So I've noticed my cham has had a lot of wrinkles Talley. For the last week at least. I'm hoping its just shedding but i really hope it isn't dehydration. I have two ice cube dripper systems set up on his cage. Should I increase misting?

He does not look dehydrated to me. Keep an eye out for the signs like sunken eyes and yellow or orange urate. His urate should be white and his poop should be moist when it comes out. Also watch him to see if he does drink.

I have seen him drink a few times today. Will they shed only when all the previous skin has been shed? He still has some stuck on him. Its a small patch of skin stuck in between his body and his leg. So like his armpit area.

Can you post a close up picture of the area you are talking about.

Its that little white circle. I'm almost positive it's leftover skin from his last shed. Normally hes sheds once a month. He didn't shed at all last month. Im wondering if its preventing him from shedding now.

I don't think that would stop him from shedding. His growth is probably just slowing down as he gets bigger.

My new chameleon went throw shedding and was scratching his eye and hurt it on a leaf cause he was scraping to hard i just want to know if he will be alright.

My little guy looks like he's shedding but it doesn't look like all the other pictures I've seen on here do you think he's dehydrated ?

Try some extra misting and increase the humidity.
