I’ve read that anoles don’t really shed their skin whole like snakes. It comes off in pieces, and then they usually eat it for the source of minerals. For an example of what they tend to look like when they go through this, you can go to images.google.com and type in: "brown anole" shedding OR molting

I figured that when my anoles are shedding, it is because they are growing and healthy. Any comments?

Definitely means that they are growing. Their skin can’t grow with them so the old skin is replaced by new skin, and the old skin sheds.
