Age

[extrajordinary]

I got Leo on October 18, 2018 and was told he was 2-3 months old at that time. That makes him almost 6-7 months old. Is that correct? How old would you all say he is? I want to know because if he's the age I think he is then it should be time to start feeding him a little less (I think).

Think your right, about 7 months. I’d say keep feeding him until he is fully grown then cut back to the recommended 5-7 large feeders every other day over the course if a couple months or so...

yea the adult coloration coming in is an indicator that your chameleon is around 6 to 7 months old

@Brodybreaux25 i got a quick question for you, how much do chams 2 years+ usually eat, my panther Bloo is 2ish years old, he is wild caught but I've had him 1 year. Bloo eats 2-3 crickets every other day, mind you it is winter and I live in Canada lol. what do you think?

Thank you! Fully grown being a year old?

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Yes, 10-12 months old.

@Brodybreaux25 would know much better then I would but. I think a photo next to a ruler or something would help get a better gauge on size. To me the color looks to be 5 months but I only have 1 veiled to compare to haha. Mine could have got his colors early. 6 months was a big jump in color for my guy. He had the same stripes as yours early on.

I didn't recognize @Brodybreaux25 since he changed his picture. haha

Yeah I was thinking about 5 months old based on my guys size now at 7 months. But I was looking at the casque size of yours in comparison to mine at that age. But he did a huge growth spurt between 5-7 months. Although he is a pig and rarely steps away from food lol. Brody helped me with my decrease the food plan and it is working really well slowly dropping him down.

I don’t know any better than any of you do, Chams growing rates vary so widely all any of us can do is guess! They are educated guesses but guesses none the less...
