is my Veiled Cham a midget??

[CrazyCalvin]

Hi everyone,

really sorry if this has been posted/asked before, i did search btu couldnt find anything.

I'd just like to know what size roughly my Chameleon should be now he is approaching 8 months. I'm under the impression that they should be fully grown by 8 months? is this right? Calvin just seems a lot smaller than aniticipated and i have seen some fully grown veiled's and Calvin seems a lot smaller.

I havent measured him yet but i have attached some pictures (first picture is of him 6 1/2 months and the others are recent).
I know it is probably hard to tell his size from the pics but a measurement would be great so i know he isnt small

Also just to clarify, now he is eight months, how often should he be fed?

Thanks guys

No more like 18 months! They are still growing at 8 months. Your chameleon looks fine! I would still feed every day,

I agree that your boy is still growing - chams never actaully stop growing, rather their growth rate slows right down, so they need less food as adults.

I have a good friend who does have a mini-cham. Sadly, he suffered calcium issues when he was tiny and as a result his growth has been stunted. He is now so beautifully brightly coloured and is a perfect tiny version of a normal size cham. I met him in person a couple of weeks ago and totally fell in love with him. He is the Peter Pan of the chameleon world, bless him!

looks good to me..growing normal..the casque looks very straight and formed well ( good vitimin, and calcium intake)..
