Shedding

So i have a 4 month old veiled chameleon, and I need to know how long it should take for him to shed. Last time I saw him shed it took him about 6 hours, which I read is not healthy, so I helped him by removing the rest of the shed off the end of his tail by using a wet Q-tip, but I need more advice.

Sorry for it being sideways it just does that for some reason
 
Chameleons are dry shedders. Misting them directly when shedding can actually make the skin harder to shed. Also, unless there’s shed constricting a foot or tail, never pull it off.
 
Just curious. Where did you read 15 minutes?

Chams will take longer to shed as they get older. Adults can take weeks to finish shedding.
