Not Growing..?

[Littledizzy07]

I've had Milo for about 2 1/2 month now. He was 3 or 4 months old when I was given him, but he has not grown. He hasn't even grown. He eats crickets coated with calcium everyday (he won't eat them if there's no calcium on them). I water him 3 or 4 times a day. He has not shed once since I got him which I think is weird because he eats a lot for his size. He doesn't really like to come out of his cage anymore, but he looks healthy. Any tips on what to do?

How many crickets each day?

The only thing I can think of is what happened to me. Milo might be a girl that is not growing fast. I see my Cham every day so it was hard to notice growth at first but one day it hit me when Iooked at a picture how much she bigger she was. If the age is correct a male would have more permident color showing by now.

Same exact thing happened to me. Vincent wasn't longer than my finger when I got him... looking at some old pictures you can really see the change.

Welcome to the forums! Milo's coloring does look female. Has Milo has a fecal lately? Parasites can keep them from growing especially cociddia. What happen to the front of Milo's casque? Or is that just the picture?

I tried to avoid parasites from the sticks. I hand washed all of the sticks with soap and water. Then put them in my over for 20 mins like another post said to do.

Anywhere from 7-20. He's picky. Some days he eats, some days he doesn't.

He's (maybe she) is normally just bright green. Milos colors only come out when I try to get him out of the cage and he's scared. My friend was with me the day I got him and questioned me before about his size after seeing him for the first time in 2 1/2 months.

Our chameleons get parasites because of the feeders they eat. I just regular fecals and almost always somebody has something.
