Thank you so much for commenting on her good looks. Thanks to you, @MissSkittles, @elizaann2 and all the other wonderful people who gave us advice on her husbandry have helped our family give Iris the life she deserves. We will be forever members of this forum and we will always keep everyone updated on Iris for her entire life.
I'm so happy to hear that!
Don’t forget to post pics of her new outfit after she’s done shedding.
I will do that I am so excited to see the new skin she hasn’t frosted yet so maybe she won’t finish today, I’m going to low temp fog her tonight to loosen the skin and let her dry again tomorrow afternoon and hopefully then we will get to see that new bright green skin!Beautiful little girl.
I would give it some more time. As they grow, it takes longer for them to shed. Even if she has some trouble there isn’t much you can really do. Chams are dry shedders so water will not help like it does other reptiles. When she gets up tomorrow, she will likely rub on her branches and get it off. The only thing to really be concerned about is if she gets stuck shed on her little toes or tail and it starts to cut off blood flow, but you are far from worrying about that
Thanks for giving me that info. How should I do her humidity tonight then. I don’t want to interrupt her shedding I spray her cage until I hit %90 humidity every night when the lights go off. Should I do that tonight still or will that interrupt her process if she is still shedding overnight. I don’t want to fog or get her cage too wet if that interrupts the shedding process. I guess I just haven’t dealt with her shedding overnight yet so I don’t know how to handle it.I would give it some more time. As they grow, it takes longer for them to shed.

I would just run things as normal. She still needs the hydration. Just don’t spray her directly.
Thanks so much for your quick info on this one her lights go out in an hour so I’ll be sure to keep her dry and spray the rest of the cage. I’ll update everyone tomorrow with some pictures hopefully we get to see her new coat
Agreed. Keep evening the same. Just monitor her for stuck shed around arms, hands/feet and tail to make sure nothing is restricting blood circulation.
She is going to be rubbing a lot today to get all of that flaking off. Make sure you do not spray her directly while she is in this stage or it will stick to her.
What a sweetheart
I love my Dragon Strands, if you can buy one of those I recommend it. I know a few people that have the Tamura enclosures and they are stunning. One of my dream enclosures. Cant go wrong with either one.
I checked all of those, I think I might choose the tall hybrid chameleon cage system from Dragon Strand it looks worth the quality, I’ll get the mist king and get the pothos plant from a local plant store and she should be set. The only other thing I’ll be looking for on a different paying period is the best UVB set up I can get. I use a generic fixture with a linear bulb but I’ve seen other on this forum with ones that increase and decrease depending on the time of day I’d like one of those.
