Do I have a slow growing gonzo baby or what?!

Ok so I've had my Dr.Gonzo baby for about 7 months now and he still hasn't gotten his colors yet. I can see tones of blue on his spine and on his cheeks but nothing else. Since I've gotten him he's kept his orange tanish color bars and he has not lost them D:! I feed him like any other chameleon I have and they all grow pretty much the same and they all got their colors pretty early. I'm a little discouraged \: All of his brothers are absolutely stunning! Maybe he will get his colors one day? Btw I beleive when I got him in august he was 2 months, he should be 9 months if I'm correct?! Sooo confused.

He is nice, I have one of him brothers. That would by my husband chameleon (or so he thinks) Mr. Bill. I wish I knew how old he was. How old is yours?
 
Thank you :)! I'm gonna guess and say he is around 4 or 5 months. I didn't ask when I bought him at the reptile show.
 
he could be a slow grower...

ive seen some at his age of not older that looked like him and still small...

im sure in time he will hit the growth spurt:cool:

he gots some awsome hues of blues ;)
 
He is still handsome! Catch him and I bet you may be amazed. Rango has so many colors now when he is fired up I am shocked. Which I normally do not see.
 
WOW, now that really is a slow grower. He was a late hatcher stayed in the egg 4 months longer than the rest.

When I saw the first set of pics I thought female too but I do see a buldge. Very interesting.

Oh ok that explains a lot lol! How old do you think he is now ? My guess is around 4 or so months??

I would think he is older than that. He wouldn't have been sold unless he was 2 months old. He is definetly younger than the rest but he would be older than 4 months. I would think like 6 at least but I am not sure.

I would expect him to have much more color and size on him. Do you remember what show you got him at? I am thinking it was Pomona but I really can't remember. If it was Las Vegas then 6-7 months sounds about right

How much does he weigh?

I have another clutch due soon. So if this guy does not turn out like you expected I will make sure you get one that will. (no charge)

There is a chance "I guess" that its a female. Looks to me like a buldge there but maybe its not. Maybe its confused. :D If it is a girl I will hook you up with a male but then you will have to find another male to breed her to.

No matter what I will do what I can to make sure you get a smoking Dr. G male.
 
One other thing...

if you are going to Petapalooza this weekend. I will be there with Dr. Gonzo at the las Vegas reptile show booth.
 
Same thing happened with my guy, he was a little runt up until he was about 6 months and was mostly tan with some red on him. But within the last month and a half his colors are really starting to come in nicely. Hes still on the small side but he growing alot more now.
