How old is Miss Chameleo Dicaprio?

[halself]

i got my 1st chameleon Friday. Shes a female Veiled chameleon. Her previous owners said they had no idea her age but i dont think shes very old. Id take her out to measure her but i dont want to stress her out, plus shes really young and not sociable yet.
if i had to guess id say shes about 6 to 7 inches long:
here are some photos of her, for reference her cage is 18x18x36in

I believe your chameleon is a male. The females do not have bars like yours. Please post a picture of the back of the back heel and I will tell you for sure, but sure looks like a male to me. I would say from the pics about 4 months old. The males are much larger than the females also. It is hard sometimes to guess age unless you have something to compare the actual size to like your hand or something

I agree with Miss carol5208,usually the female has the line cross n the male has the bar,BUT if u want to be sure,u can always look at the hind feet to see if u can find a spur for male ,non for female.

you guys were right! foot spur!

Hello MR. Chameleo Dicaprio! Well unless you wanted a female, atleast you do not have to worry about him laying eggs!
