    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I've never seen a Chameleon shed it's skin. Yesterday my chameleon looked fine, but just now I looked at it, and he looks like this



is that normal? when my python sheds it's skin it takes a couple of days, buth the chameleon is doing it in seconds. So is this normal?

Thank for any input.
 
HOwdy,

Yep. I seems to almost explode off of young chameleons. I watched mine go from one little flake visible to an hour later - boom. Now that he is 9-10 months old, it takes many hours longers.

MIne looks the same as well. He looked a bit hazy in the AM, I went to work and came back to flakes of skin all over the cage. It happened pretty fast. My vield sheds in patches it seems. His hands will shed at one time and then his casque another ect. He is 3.5 yrs old though. My Panther Nose Be is about to have his second sheeding today it looks like and I suspect he is aboutt 5-6 months old. I have him outside for several hours for sunlight and mist him to help the process.
 
how often do chameleons shed there skin anyway? my cham is around 3.5 months now and has shed once since i have had her. also is there a way to tell if they are going to shed before they actually start to shed?
