Shedding question - whole body or head only?

[mrvoodoo]

This is my first experience with a chamelon shedding - he's only shedding around the crown of his head, eyes, and around his rostral horn. Below his mouth he's not shedding nor anywhere else - about 3 days into his shed.

is the shedding a slow process starting from the head or should he shed throughout? Reason I ask is that I've seen some images of other chams shedding and it looked like the whole body.

usually whole body, but not always, mist him more and look into adding more vit A supplementation

He's getting 5 minutes 4 times a day with mistking - plenty of mist I think -- plants in there are loving it lol. I'll add more vit A though - thanks!

just be careful not to give too much, there is a fine line, read Brads supplementation guide on the raising kitty the veiled cham blog he has going
