Hi guys, I've had my chams for roughly 2.5 months now and both my male and female have shed once. I noticed today that my little boy seems to be sheding on his feet and on the inside of his joints i.e. the pits of his extremities. Below are pics of what I'm talking about, and I was wonder if this is normal, I thought that when they shed it usually begins with their mid section. Am I not keeping him moist enough?

Also, My female ~ 3.5 mths old seems to remain a darker green with little color variation, could she be gravid (or cooking) or could it be that I have her housed with the male?

The last thing is, I went to feed them today and I saw her bite the a Ficus leaf. Would it be toxic to her if she ingested a little of the white milky sap that Ficus excrete?
Thanks guys!

They often shed in sections so what your male is experiencing seems normal to me.

The ficus will not hurt her.

They really need to be separated ... you're going to start experiencing some problems with having them together, if you aren't already. It will be (or is) particularly stressful for your female.
