Stuck Shed

Hey everyone! So I have a Veiled Cham around 5 months I would say. He just went through shedding, and he has a bit of stuck shed. I was wondering if anyone had any tips I could use to get it off? Thanks!

Patience. Chameleons are dry shedders so while our natural thought is to try and moisten it, we are actually making it stick more. Unless the stick shed is causing a problem, just be patient.

It is best to just wait it out pulling at shed can cause scarring and lead to more stuck shed. Unless it is strangling a toe or tail tip etc. leave it be.
