Veiled chameleon - age / sex?

[babyeggman]

Hi! I adopted a juvenile veiled chameleon from Petsmart in March, but they weren't able to tell me their age or sex. My little guy has spurs on his back legs so I'm tempted to say Karma's a male, but I'd love for a confirmation. They're about 4 inches long from nose to base of tail.

I would say about 3.5-4.5 months old and male. If he has spurs on back legs he is a male for sure!

What a cutie!
Chain pet stores are notorious for giving bad care info, so if you have any questions or need help, just say the word.

My chameleon is 6” long from nose to base of tail. What is a good guess of his age? Thanks
