Is it taking too long for my Cham to shed?

[Matthew43s]

I noticed KP’s crest had a large white spot on it on the 28th, and I instantly new that it was an indication he was going to shed. Next morning sure enough he started, so I made sure to have his humidifier running more to keep the humidity at around 55-70% during these past fees days. Upon further inspection today, it looks like he STILL has skin that hasn’t shed from his crest, end of his tail, his feet, and his mid section.

The humidity is where it needs to be, but I think the problem is his misters nozzles are pointing at his basking spot, where he spends a lot of his time, so he gets sprayed every hour for about 45 seconds. Is this what is causing the skin to be harder to shed?

How old is he? My two year old just had a full body shed that lasted a full week. The older they get, the longer it takes.

He’s only 6 months old, his last two sheds went as follows

Noticed some shed spots, look back an hour later and he looks like a mummy, hour-3 hours after that all gone.

So I’m a little worried, esspecially the stuck shed on the hands and tail

Here’s some pics to show what I am talking about

I think that he is doing okay but he needs a little more misting. If the skin stays on his feet and tail for more than two weeks, I would help him out a little bit. If that skin cuts of the circulation, they could lose the extremity, which wouldn't be fun for anyone

Just keep us updated. It should be fine, he wouldn't be close to losing an extremity unless something else is wrong for a while. Try to raise his humidity.

Okay so a few days is nothing to worry about is what I’m getting out of this, and I greatly appreciate it. And don’t worry CJ, you know I will haha other then the minor worry, idk about ya’ll but I think KP is one extremley good lookin little Cham. He’s turning out to be very photogenic, don’t you think?

I still remember posting on your first thread when you were still designing his enclosure! And when he barely had a little cask! He has grown so much!

I know, it was like it was just yesterday I unboxed this tiny little creature no bigger then my pointer finger and a few short months later I have this extremely vibrant huge little dude. its pretty awesome, the knowledge I have acquired since then too, KP wouldn't be where he is in his health or look as good as he does if it weren't for this forum and all of you who have been helping since day one, this is the first picture I ever got of KP. look at him compared to the temp gauge, shoulda known I'd have a temperamental Cham since day one I mean look at him puffin up. hasn't changed a bit since haha

 

[CJ's Exotics]

Haha, I still remember you commenting how he was kind of puffy!

 

[Matthew43s]

little did I know that he was actually setting the tone for how our relationship would go haha he can be cranky little turd, but I wouldn't have him any other way.
