Shedding different than last time...

[IzzieC]

Izzie's first shed with me (4 weeks ago I think) was a total body-all done in one day-thing. Now she has started shedding again...this time it's taking A LOT longer and so far it's just her head and legs and tail. I can't see any indication she will shed on her back/belly etc. as of right now. The day is almost over and my poor girl seems to be "stuck" in her second shed. Can it take a few days? I thought it was pretty much over within a full day...(she has had a lot of warm water mistings today).
Positive note..her appetite is as good as always!

*edited...scratch the part about it only being her head, legs and tail...we see the start on her back now...looks like this will def be a two day process....*

My chameleon's first shed took about 3 full days to completely finish. Just make sure your humidity is at a good level and keep an eye out. No worries, it just might take time.

Skittles always did full body sheds when he was younger but most chameleons as they get bigger take longer to shed. Just last week Skittles shed on his back left foot only and hasn't shed anything else since, his skin looks fine though. A lot of times they will shed in different stages almost.

They will shed slower when older, it could also be a lach in humidity....

I'd say spray more, it will help the shedding.

As of 7:45-bedtime ...she is about half way through. She has been rubbing against her leaves and branches to get the dead skin off. Once it's off her eyes all the way I will relax...lol.

Yeah...misting her does help. I have misted her 4/5 times throughout the afternoon.

Pickles shed on only her belly this last time. The rest of her is just starting to look like it's going to shed soon. So weird!
