The color of my chameleon

[CrazyBear]

Hello everyone. When I woke the morning to check on little lady I saw that her tail butt area is a grayish white. Is this normal? She gets mists for 3 minutes, 30 minutes before light go on and and 3 minutes after lights go off half hour later. She also gets a 1 minute mist at 1am since I live in a dry area. The fogger goes in at 2-5am. She gets feed daily with calcium and 2 times a month with the d3 calcium. She has a lay bin since I’m not sure when she will start to lay.

Looks like she may be getting ready to shed.

She keeps hanging her butt off the branch but she doesn't poop or anything either. She did poop yesterday and it all look normal and healty.h

Looks like the start of a shed to me too. What are your humidity levels at?

Do they need to be a certain humidity when they shed? She is on the lower end of the humidity that is needed.

No I just wanted to make sure it was at the correct level so she can easily shed

You want proper hydration for a good shed. I wouldn't adjust anything unless you suspect your chameleons hydration is not adequate. If your hydration is adequate, but could be better, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to improve hydration at least while shedding IMO. But if that's the case, I suggest you make adjustments to make hydration better for all the time

Did she manage to poop? She has a little bulge at her vent. Is that still there?

Not that i can see. She has been pooping just fine all the other days but it seemed like she was struggling a little today but then she never went from what i can see.
