Can you age me veiled chameleon?

[MissMeela]

Can anyone give new a guesstimate on how old my young male veiled chameleon is? I've had him for 2 weeks and 2 days.. I was thinking 3 months? He just had his first shed yesterday/today..

This picture was taken 2 weeks ago, when I first got him...

Can you guess his age??

He's about 6-8 months old!!

No way, really!?! Wow, ok. Thanks. I just thought they would be a lot bigger at 6-8 months?

I'm no expert, but I'm almost certain (unless your chameleon is extremely tiny or has health issues) that he is at most under 5 months. My guess would be between 3 or 4 months. My chameleon is larger than that at 5 months and he was a real runt when I got him! All chameleons are different, though, depending on their environment, so he could be younger or older. Once again, I am no expert. The best way to know would be to ask whoever you got him from if that is possible.

Way too small and discolored to be 6-8 months. More like three months.

I would guess about 3-4 months, based on size.

This was Monty about 2 weeks after I got him. I estimated his age at around 5 months if that helps with your comparison.

3-5 months..

Looks to be around 3-4 but I would say not more than 5 for sure.
