Hello all. I rescued this chameleon two days ago. I believe it is a male ( heel spur), please correct me if I am wrong. This guy is obviously under weight. His set up that I got him with was the bare minimum to keep him alive. I added a proper spot/heat uvb bulb and a t5 5.0 HO bulb. I also added a dripper and a live plant. He had none of these basic things. He had the wooden dowels seen in the pic and a mister which I will continue to use, a red light and a fluorescent bulb that comes in standard the two light starter kit.
My question is about his age and size. I don’t know if they can be stunted because of lack of care/food. He is defiantly small, previous owner says they have had him for a year and a half. He moves around, colored right up with new lights and plant and he eats well. Will he grow full size ? Doesn’t really matter I guess just curious. I will fatten him up and get him healthy. So small looks like a girl to me, but heal spurs make me think different.
I would appreciate any advice and thoughts on the matter.
Thanks
PS not my first Cham, super happy to have one again my kids are finally old enough for me to have time and for them to be interested.
