Is it normal for a Panther to become more aggressive during a shed. My Panther is about 6 months old, and I've had him for 2 months. This is the 3rd shed I've seen. I was cleaning out his cage, and feeding him, and I noticed that he started puffing up and opening his mouth. When I got near him, he snapped at me. Normally he tolerates me handling him pretty well. Is this normal behavior? Thanks.

Yes, it's normal in as far as chameleons shouldnt be handled - it stresses them. If you have to stick your hands in towards him, move SLOWLY and try not to swoop in over his head. The less you behave like a preditor, the better. Stick to a routine, move slowly, handle your lizard as little as possible (unless you're okay with it dying young).
