Stuck shed

[Jhlamotte95]

Hello,

my Chameleon’s last shed was a couple months ago, and he still has some shed stuck on his face.

Just wondering if I should be concerned, or if this will just all fall off next time he sheds (that’s what I think but just want to hear some other opinions).

Leave it.

But this is a sign something is off with your husbandry, most likely gutload and supplements.

I think that his husbandry is on point. I’ve read that even if it’s perfect (Or as perfect as you can get it) stuck shed can still happen.

It is just two tiny dots but I’m glad I got your opinion. If the problem possibly comes from supplements or husbandry maybe he just needs a bath to get the last tiny dots off.

A couple small patches could resolve itself, or not.

May turn to ask a question, Why ask for advice if your not going to take it?

maybe he just needs a bath to get the last tiny dots off.

This statement^ alone justifies filling out the form. You can only benefit from it.
