Veiled Shedding or Dry Skin?
- Thread starter RadishKing321
- Start date
if he is shedding (it's hard to see in that photo) then just make sure you are misting him enough. This will really help him get the skin off quicker. Mine is in the middle of a shed, and it's very dry where I live, so I am handmisting extra in between the MistKing automatic times.

Looks to be shedding, make sure to keep the humidity high, and mist longer/more through the day to help him shed completely and properly!

Are you not misting your chameleon to give it water? If you go to a dollar store, or any store in general they usually have a spray bottle, that you fill up and you can mist he chameleon.
