I highly recomend getting a temperature and humidity guage. It is important to know these values. You can get them pretty cheap from pet stores or online stores. I have kept veilds before, and do not think I have seen their face being more pale than the rest of their body. Good to hear he is active and eating/drinking.

i tryed to download the pics and it said the pic were too large
There is a file size limit to prevent people from uploading huge images. I dont remember the limit at the moment, but it probably needs to be tweaked. What is the image size you are trying to upload? The other option is to upload your image somewhere else on the internet and then use the

Hmmm, I think you might not have...
1- Enough heat for basking, what watt are you using?
2- Pale face is from dehydration or over dose of calcuim. Or I read from cold nights.
3-Brads right, with veiled you MUST have the gauges to see what the levels are.
4-Are you using a flouresent* bulb? What kind?

nice colors You should enter him in the [THREAD=104]monthly contest[/THREAD].
About the shedding, the first thing that comes to mind is humidity. What are your current levels? You might want to raise it a little while he is shedding.
Veiled chameleons will eat different kinds of vegies and fruits. I have had the most success with collard greens and sliced strawberries. Clip them to the side of the cage.

A lot of lizards eat their shed for its calcium content. I don't think their doing so is due to a lack of it, more just as a boost in it. With chameleons, I've seen them eat their shed and if you notice, you often don't see much of the reminants of a shed so I suspect it is a rather common occurance.
