Are you referring to the white strips across the center of the body?

If you are referring to the white stripes like fancyraptor asked, those are a normal part of a young Veiled's coloration. Could you please fill out the how to ask for help form under the health clinic section of this forum?

You mean three white splashes on your cham's body, right? That is most likely nothing, just his colours are starting to kick in, my female has also these white splashes I otherwise have to agree with others

Hello, yes and now it looks like he's shedding, but seems very lethargic.

Ok, thank you so much! He just seems very lethargic and slow. This morning he looks completely different. It looks like his skin is peeling off.

I wonder if you know what the normal behavior of a chameleon looks like. You refer to him being "very lethargic and slow."

What is your chameleon experience? What is your reptile experience? Why do you think he is now lethargic? What are you comparing his behavior to? Can you please describe the behavior and any change in detail. Be very specific.

Here is a picture of a very healthy baby shedding. The younger they are, the more quickly they complete the shedding process. This baby had no signs of shedding an hour or so before this picture was taken. She had completed the shed in less than an hour. As they get older, they shed more in big patches with the shed taking many days to complete.
