Shed helpers?
My Veiled Cham has been having problems shedding here lately. The skin drys out and won't peel off, like it's not ready to. I'm figuring it's a humidy problem I'll work on fixing.. but for right now.. I was wondering if those sprays at pet stores to help shedding work? Itsn't not dangerous or anything? And which kind/brand is better?

They should be safe, but like you said, its most likely a problem with humidity not being high enough. Raise the humidity and you shouldn't have much of a problem

Those pet store sprays really don't do anything that just plain water won't do.
Just keep your humidity up and increase your misting and save your money.

You have to be very careful. There are a lot of products out there aimed at the novice keeper. The packaging makes great claims and promises but the only thing they can really guarantee to do is to part you with your money.
