Hey guys, first of all, I'd like to thank everyone of you from this forum. The information provided here is just phenomenal and I am definitely a better "father" for my Charmeleon (Yes, that's his name haha).
But now let's talk about my real issue. I got a veiled chameleon a month ago (he was 6 months when I got him according to the reptile shop owner) and he went through his first shedding around 5 days ago. He went through his whole body in about 2 days, but there is a part on his tale (about half of it) that just simply wont come out. I've been misting a lot and many times aiming for his tale to see if it will come out.
I wouldn't be worrying too much, but I remember I saw someone saying in this forum that it could lead to amputation if a part doesn't come out.
Is this true? Should I start worrying?
Thanks again to everyone, and I just want to point out that the reason I didn't use the whole "How to ask for help" format was because most of it would be irrelevant for this particular issue.
