I would only take him to the vet unless the skin is constricting blood flow to the tail. It should come off after a few days with heavy, warm, long mistings. If not, and if it seems to stay, you could try gently rubbing it off yourself.

A vet visit is hardly necessary unless there is heavy constriction, really.

Ah okay, well... Get really close to the shed you think might be the issue with the camera.

my chams will keep some skin on their tails for a few days ... but they eventually get it off.

thank you well today the tail looks fine but i think he is still shedding some skin but like i said he sleeps, drink and eat fine shlod i be worrier i heard that if a chameleon doesnt finish or keeps shedding skin they die or something is this true?
