I think he's about 5 months based on what I've read on here. But could I get a more knowledgeable opinion? I can provide more pictures of asked. Thanks!

Thank you! About what age would he start getting even more colors? This is my first chameleon.

He should have all the colors developed by 4-6 mos don't be disappointed if he doesn't have bright colors

He looks to be showing some pretty good color now, but it should get a little better in the next few months. His colors most likely won't be real intense unless he gets fired up about something like another male, or you really piss him off. He looks like a nice one to me.

Okay. He does have a bit of gold on him. I saw that today when I ticked him off.

I made him mad today and he got little dark green spots on him. I also heard him hiss at me for the first time. I got him from a normal pet store, I glad he looks good ^-^

Try not to make him mad when they start getting those spots it means they're very stressed and it can kill them. Also make sure he's not super bright green that means he's excited and excitement least to fear and fear leads to stress and stress can ultimately lead to death chams don't like to be handled so leave him alone as much as possible especially when he's shedding. Good luck!

A dark green/brownish color is what you want to see not too dark not too light you want it to look like this:

NOT this:

Even though it may seem cuter

Yah okay they can be a little delicate at times, and I agree they shouldn't be handled excessively, but they aren't made of glass they won't break if you tough them let step back a little.

 

[Hektor]

Okay. Thanks for all the good knowledge!

It's okay @Lizzie The Chameleon It's better to be over protective then not to care at all.
