Shedding

[Saracw324]

Hey everyone, hope yall are having a good Friday. My chamleon Brida finished her shed about a day ago, I noticed she still has a little bit left on her toes. I've read different things to do as far as raising humidity, but then someone else will say to keep it dry. So Please help. Thank you in Advance❤

Chams are dry shedders. Increasing humidity doesn't help them shed. A little bit stuck is no big deal, unless it's wrapped around the toe or tail to the point it could cut off circulation, otherwise a little stuck shed is nothing to worry about.

She has a lay bin in there. I put one In there about a month ago. I noticed she does this when she sunbathes. As soon a she starts exploring she goes back to being skinny.

The shed on the toes is normal and does not look to be constricting blood flow it will come off when it has totally detached from her nails.

What size enclosure is she in? Can you take a pic of her entire enclosure including lights on top?

So yeah she really needs an upgrade. I would go ahead and get a 2x2x4 then you can fit a lay bin without issues.

What is the UVB lighting? Is it a coil screw in bulb?

How big is your laybin? From what I've read it should be 12x12x12

Right now they are hard to find. You typically have to go via a reptile supply. You can do a 2x2x4 or a 36x18x36 for her. Here is a link to the 36x18x36

You can also try here, https://www.thecritterdepot.com/products/open-air-aluminum-screen-cage-free-shipping $200 for a 2x2x4 or of course if you want to go all out https://dragonstrand.com/ there's usually a bit of a wait on those enclosures though.

Dragon ledges are nice. Attaching plants to Reptibreeze is not easy.

How about building one? wouldn't it be the alternative then spending money on bigger fabricated enclosure?
That's why I already got the frame work bought out for Iggy's new bigger enclosure when he needs it!
and it didn't all that much to

It dosen't have to be 12 inches deep. 6 is fine
