Think he will start growing

[Bubby]

I "saved" a male veiled chameleon from someone i know. They said he is 1 year old and i saw the paper where they person bought him and he is indeed 1 year old. I got him last night but man, this little guy is too small. I think his growth has stunted but, do any of you guys think that if he gets the calcium, vitamins and all of that he will start growing again? I feel really bad for this little guy

I have heard it is possible for them to grow, but it is really hard to say for sure. With proper care he should at least be able to do well, even if he doesn't grow much larger.

Does he keep his eyes closed like that a lot during the day? If so, you will most likely need to take him to a vet. Does he hold his head up, make popping noises, have extra mucous or bubbles from his mouth? That could indicate a respiratory infection.

I am glad you were able to rescue him, and I am sure you will get a lot of great advice here, but you will need to copy and paste and fill out the following form for people to give advice:
