I'm guessing he will be pretty vibrant once he gets his adult colors. My ambilobe/ambanja looked very similar to that when I first got him. Probably didn't even have as much color as that one. And this is him now:
Find out what breeder they got him from so you can get a pic of the sire. That will be your best way to see what you could be getting.

Definitely this. My cham looks very similar to his sire

What about the stripes. Will they fade away or will they stay? I'm not sure If i'll be able to get pics of the sire.

The dark ones? Those on my cham turned to the blue bars most of the time/when he is outside, but he changes those back to darker colors when he is trying to absorb more light/heat

I mean he's only 3-4 months and he's already showing some blues and reds.

I mean I don't think I've ever seen a nosy be that's not blue. An ambanja would be amazing but in the uk resources are more limited
So here is the issue... Yes, the Nosy Be locale are blue. BUT without buying from a breeder you are not guaranteed that this is what you are actually buying. If the pet store can not provide proof of lineage from the breeder then you are just taking their word that this is what your buying. That would be my concern. If your comfortable taking their word on it then go for it. But babies do not show their adult colors so all you have is what they tell you.I mean I don't think I've ever seen a nosy be that's not blue.

What did the store tell you about the panther?

Well I messaged them via facebook and asked them if they had any male panthers for sale. They said that they had a nosy be available with a setup. They gave me the age and thats really it. I asked them for a photo of the sire. They look legit though. They have a big shop in north england and they don't just sell chameleons. When looking at theyre facebook page they said that they have a big breeding facility. Also all the chameleons in the photos had correct setups and looked healthy. I mean at only 3 months old he's already showing a little blues which caught my attention. If you want to check them out theyre called urban exotics
Ok I am going to answer your original question... There is no way to know what he will be at 3 months old based off his picture now. This is why you want a picture of the sire that will tell you what he could look like as an adult.

The shop said 3-4. could he be 4 months? how old do you think he is?
Yes, but it is not enough for me to bank on it being a Nosy Be
Heck could be ambanja or sambava or ambilobe. They all have similar looks at that age to me.

I would make a guess 4 to 5
