Nosy be colour question

[dropanuke]

I have a 2 1/2 - 3 month old baby nosy be and was wondering how long before they become blue all over lol

Hi.

Depends on the cham really, but I'd say between 9 months to a year old is when he'll be blue all over. These are pics of my 2yr old Nosey Be x BB Ambilobe, Simba. (shows him as a baby, then 6 months, 1yr, 18months and 2yrs)

3months old:

6 months:

1 year:

1yr 6 months:

2 yrs:

Now (before shedding)

After shedding:

He might not go blue at all! Nosy be's are often green all over

Not if you get the cham from a responsible breeder.

100% not accurate... It depends on each chams specific genetics. I have had some from the most reputable breeder and the bluest lines show lots of green.

Wild nosy be's are green too! Yes the blue ones are bred specifically blue bloodlines but you can't beat nature!

Exactly this is something that I have experienced. No matter what the green colors are in there genetic make up and is always going to be present to some degree.
