Shedding

[pr3mo15]

Why hello!

I was just wondering...Does shedding cause stress to a chameleon at all?? .. Even if its an easy shed for them..?

Just thought it was an interesting question that I though of...

I think that they find it more itchy and uncomfortable! When Lily sheds I put on a knitted glove and she rubs the shed off of her eyes and face on my fingers! It's so cute!

Haha aww, that is cute!

Thanks for your response Miss Lily!

i agree with miss lilly. my male rubbes himself on branches when he sheds or he'll use his back foot and pull his eye wwaaaayy far out then it snaps back in (kinda creepy looking) but i figure he knows what he's doing. i think it just itches like crazy... which i suppose could be irritating or stressful
i know with my male if i hand mist him it seems to take the itch off for a while.
