How does my chameleon look, pics included

This is my 6 month old veiled chameleon Levi. He has been trying to eat a lot of dirt lately and that concerns me. He eats crickets, mealy worms, superworms and sometimes i give him wax worms, so i change up his diet regularly.

Also the black spots on his stomach i believe are from when he got his back claw stuck basically inside his stomach. I had to help him get it out, i dont know why this happens but it happened a couple times. These arent ticks are they? One more thing, how much bigger do you think he will get. Thanks guys.

If those black marks are the exact location where your cham got his leg claws stuck, then those are probably scabs/scars, not mites. How does a cham do that twice?

He can get a lot larger, maybe even up to 24". He does look good and you are proud of your addition to your family.

Thank you, do you think the black spots are from his claw getting stuck.

Yeah thats where he got his claws stuck and i dont know how he does it, i guess he isnt too coordinated yet. I hope he gets that big, that would be great. Thanks

How old do you guys think he is. The pet store owner said he was around 6 months but that was just a regular mall pet store. Thanks
