Current Problem -
The current problem you are concerned about.
He is wrinkly and shaking kinda. The shaking is more like he is trying to take is shoes off or has water on his feet. He has a shed coming on, and he keeps stretching and shaking and swaying! I've never watched him shed so if this is normal and I'm being stupid just tell me. His little chameleon slippers and hat are starting to come off so is this just the normal shedding dance or something? He also keeps puffing out his chin at me. And looks kinda pale...
