I have a male veiled chameleon who's about 7 months old. He stared to shed about a month ago and still hasn't finished. His tail, legs, and spine seemed to have shed but his sides and belly still have the old skin and it doesn't look as if it's even peeling, it's just a much fainter color. Should I be concerned? Or is there anything I can do?
Shedding problem?

Yes, it can either be due to humidity issues or more often it is a vitamin issue. What is your supplementation schedule and what of?

Increase your misting duration. Usually when I see my veiled starting to shed I'll bump all the 5-6 minutes mistings to 8 or 9 minutes. Also, making sure you are gutloading your feeders with good leafy greens with help with his vitamin intake and in turn help ease sheds.
I've also noticed with my veiled, as he gets older, he would shed one part of his body at a time in between full body sheds. Recently, he shed all the skin on his tail then his head and front legs then next week and so on.

Yes this is what I was thinking, that he was shedding only a part at a time. And correction to my earlier post his tail hasent shed yet. Here's a couple pics, they are hard to tell but if you zoom in you can see his body and tail have that faint color like he's ready to shed....

What kind of multivitamin do you use?
