Hey I'm new to owning a chameleon, I just got my first one in December. He is an ambanja panther chameleon and about 5 months old. I was just wondering about what size he should be because I have some friends who have owned chameleons in the past and there's seemed to be much larger then the size of my chameleon at this age. He is about 3 1/2 inches long.
