I've had my little guy for less than a week and I think he's already starting to shed. It looks like it's beginning on his tail. This is my first chameleon and the first time he's shed. What can I expect? How can I make him more comfortable? Also, could this be part of why he's not eating? I read that he may not eat regularly while he's adjusting, but could shedding also affect his appetite? I'm offering him the correct size of crickets, and he's eaten a few, but I also think he dislikes the cups I've tried to use for feeding. When the cup was clear he was trying to eat but kept hitting the side of the cup so I switched to an opaque cup...but now he doesn't seem as interested. It's like he needs to see them through the clear cup to be interested...but then can't figure out how to get to them. Suggestions?
