Anyone?

Many chameleons grow at slightly different rates. Do you possibly have a picture of him on a ruler, or on your hand? That would be a little bit easier to compare sizes to I have a 5 month old male, who is a bit big for his age. If you post a picture like I described, I will do my best to help you!

I dont think he is too small for four five months his color awesome for that young does he eat good

 

[froggielog]

Yea he eats like a horse I want to get him some hornworms soon for a treat!

Aww thanks! He has been showing some nice blues outside and reds,yellows and oranges inside!


(He had just went to bed, so he was a bit reluctant to come out real quick in the 1st two)

 

[CamiGirl89]

Thank you for the pictures! He looks about 3.5-4ish months, and his colors are very nice! He looks like a little sweety, too!

 

[froggielog]

Aw thanks! He can be when he wants to

 

[pssh]

He certainly could be 4-5 months old.

 

[CamiGirl89]

My 5 month old must just be a monster

He is doing fine. As long as your husbandry is top notch, you have nothing to worry about. Yeah right huh? Us cham lovers still worry about every little thing about our babies.

He's freaking adorable.... There's always a range in size with any animal (go look at a class of kindergarten kids). He's probably smaller than some at this age but he looks great. He'll probably surprise you with a grown spurt later.

 

[romulan]

Looks good to me! I was worried mine was on the smaller side to. Recently he has been going through a growth spurt though.
Here he is at 4 months studying investing

Seems ok for me too. Maybe a bit smaller than average, but if he eats a lot he should start growing faster now. And he has some nice colors, I would say nothing to worry about

 

[ph34r]

he does seem a tad small to me but hey everything and everyone grows at a different rate as long as hes healthy hydrated and well fed i would worry to much about it, he will bulk up in no time

[froggielog]

does this all sound right?

 

[pssh]

Sounds good. I would alternate the outdoor and indoor calcium though. Since you're already using the D3 one every other day, you might as well use the plain one every other day too.

 

[froggielog]

will do!

Now how much sun a day, should he be getting to help prevent MBD and everything else?

 

[froggielog]

I mean just in general?

 

[camimom]

I would up his basking temp a bit

85 is better.


I dont know anything about your supplements, BUT if yo want to make your life easier, you can use repashy all in one instead.
