Breeding Age?

I believe my male veilVe is only about 5 or six months old. Today my daughter showed him a plastic toy chameleon that resembles a female. She left it on a branch on his outdoor tree and when I put him on the tree later I forgot about the toy but he perked up and ran to it .he mounted it but realized it was fake. My question is that isn't he a bit too young for this behavior?

You should name him quagmire. *giggity*

They have a short life span, if I were a male chameleon i would also grab every opportunity I get to get jiggy with it.

But ya, he's probably a bit of an early bloomer, but it's not unheard of.

I second Quagmire! Good stuff!

I wonder what was going through his head when he realized she was fake. They grow up so fast!

Probably something along the lines of "doesn't matter, had sex."

Hope you washed it before giving it back to your daughter!

I did don't worry. He didn't get far with it since he noticed it was fake his male parts didn't even come out.

Maybe he's a little older then I though but I bought him in July and the store told me he was 3 or 4 months then. I think he is about 6 months since he is just now starting to get some yellows on him. Seems like 6 months is when most chams start to get colorful.

He just kept tilting his head back and fourth inspecting it like I swear she was right here.
