Photos of Tate (Chamaeleo gracilis) Shedding

[jannb]

My little Graceful Tate had a full shed between Christmas and New Years. We got a few photos of him and I thought I'd share. Tate is the sweetest little boy. He's now 21 months old and weighs 86 grams.

Poor thing! They always look so bewildered when this is happening don't they? Never mind, it will all be over soon.

He always seems to have a great shed

He is a little cutie! It is amazing how they shed. It looks like pieces of paper falling off.

Thank you Cheryl. Little Tate takes shedding really hard.

Thank you for your comment. It's all over now but Tate really hates shedding. I kept all of his shed and I have just about the full body.

Mike, your comments are always appreciated. Little Tate most always does a big full shed.

I always love pictures of Tate-

Thank you Kate! Tate is such a little sweetie.

You do(just not all at once and as clean as this)

That may be the first (and most) healthy graceful I've ever seen. Job very well done.

I don't think he has a ghost of a chance to get out of that shed…

CHEERS!

Probably the nicest I've seen. An under rated species for sure.

Love me some Stately Tately; even in ghost form. Give him a bug from me.

He's out Nick and the majority of the shed came off in one piece.

Probably the nicest I've seen. An under rated species for sure.

I'm humbled to have such a nice compliment from you. Thank you Mike!

Tate loves his Auntie Trace! I'll give him an extra bug from you tomorrow.

Tate is still a ham even when shedding. He is very cute as always.
