Moody.

My Female veiled chameleon is shedding, and she is really moody and mean, and wont let me hold her, and she hisses when i put food in her terrarium/home. (I hate saying "cage" it sounds cruel)
No this is not due to her just being a chameleon, not all chameleons are anti social. My girl loves to go for walks (on my shoulder of course) in hot weather, and we take her down to the reptile shop all the time to visit friends, she is the opposite of anti social.
But since she started shedding, she has been very.. reclusive, and hissy. is this normal?

Ever get patches of dry skin? It itches and it's uncomfortable. Now imagine that, with ALL of your skin. I'd be pretty annoyed too.

My girl is anti social normally and she just shed for the second time. When she sheds she is even more unfriendly, and doesn't feel like eating much, but he goes back to being herself after a day or two after her shed. So, in my experience, it's normal for them to be a bit extra moody.
