Male Ambilobe Panther Chameleon Feeding Schedule

Hello,
I currently have a 9 month old male Ambilobe Panther Chameleon and I am uncertain as to the amount of food I should be giving him.
When I first got him at 6 months old, I was advised to feed him 6 3rd instar brown crickets per day. I now use 4th Hoppers which are around 28-32mm long and I feed him around 6 per day. He is eating all of them every day and he looks healthy and active around his enclosure, but I could use some advice on how much he should be getting.
I have attached a picture of him so you can see his size
Thanks for any advice

Never let them eat too much. They will eat and eat if they're good eaters. They won't stop. Switch of the diet Cricket's mainly throwing some roaches and worms every now and then my adult males I try not to feed over 14 crickets. I use hornworms butterflies and superworms sometimes I get them silks. This is just my opinion you'll get a lot of great advice on this site

Where do u get butterflies if u don't mind me asking. It would an interesting thing to see :)
 
I'm new to this, but i was told to feed chams that weren't full grown as much as they could eat? My 4 month old has been eating around 15-20 small/med crickets and 5-6 roaches a day. Sometimes i wonder where he's fitting these things.

Your doing fine with a 4 month old, he's still frowning and letting him eat is fine. He should start to slow down on his own in a few months. Mine always have between 7-9 months.
