Chameleon not growing?

Thanks! Repticon is in a few days in my area so they shouldn't be too hard to find

Good luck! I figure some just grow at different rates as long as he is eating, clear of parasites I try not to worry ours came from a clutch of 65

ok ...I know that you have gotten a lot of good advice on here so far but I am amazed that your little one is so small. How old did they say he was when you got him? I read it way back in the thread. any way I have two Veileds right now.
one is a boy and one is a girl this is my girl Tara at 6 months and 76g (first 2 pictures) then here is my boy at 4 months and 34g (he hates to get his picture taken, can you tell...lol)

Nice chameleons! They said he was either 3 days or 3 weeks old..I'm betting on 3 weeks though. I posted a picture of him when we first got him on the second page if that helps..I haven't weighed my chameleon but I don't think he weighs any grams
We got him in probably at the end of June

I'm hoping everything is okay with him since he looks healthy other than being extremely small.

He was hatched here 1st out from our first clutch. He is shy and he does eat but the others range much bigger and our 2nd clutch they are almost at his weight but his behavior and everything else is fine. we have many so it's weird that he is a slow grower

Hmmm, I just got a new Veiled 3 weeks ago as of tomorrow and it was from our local Repticon as well. I was told he was 4 months at the time I got him, so he should be right on the cusp of 5 months now. Last weight I have him at was 13g about 3 days ago. He eats like a monster, though. He has eaten about 50 small dubia's in the last 3 days plus a good amount of Pothos (he seems to love to munch on the leaves). I've just come to the conclusion that I have a runt but at the same time, he flashed some SUPER light brown/Lavender mix last night so I am hoping he keeps those colors in his old age. That would definitely make up for the lack of size

I estimate my guys length at about 3-3.5 inches from snout to trap.

The first picture is from September 29, 2013. The 2nd picture is from yesterday, October 10th, 2013.

So repticon came and I tried to get some feeders for my chameleon but only thing small enough was some baby superworms, which if anyone knows how many I can give to him a day at hes size?


I met with the guys I got my veiled from and from the looks of it, the siblings of my chameleon are growing so maybe my chameleon is dwarfed or just a slow grower.

You could try some staple flies from mantisplace.com - they also have blue bottle -they are bigger and live longer - I hatch out like 10 in the containers the "crickets to go" come in from pet smart and let them loose in my baby jacksons cage - shipping is like 7 bucks and the flies are like 3 - I bought some fly food (5) (just to make my husband crazy) they are hard to dust but for my panther take them outside and transfer to the dusting cup (he gets the blue bottle ones) or a plastic bag without losing too many with the jackson I don't bother dusting them as they need less supliments -

I have the same problem with my baby girl. i got her from the reptile super show in Pomona, shes about 5 months and about the same size as your little one. She eats like a monster, shedding it no problem for her, and shes a beautiful green with quite the Buddha belly. Shes just very small. I've come to the fact she is the runt. I took her to work with me for a fecal (I work at an animal clinic). No problems there. Her poop is white and solid. No problems there. My friend even got her sister when I got my Loco and Pascal towers over her!
