Welcome,
as far as young vs. old, a younger chameleon will be with you longer and therefore have more time in his life to "get used to you". That being said some chameleons will always have a bad attitude towards you putting your hands in the cage, male veileds seem particularly territorial. I...
I also just recently got a Veiled, but I got her at 4 months.

Thanks again for the compliments

And thank you for the information. Should she be eating 'large' or 'small' crickets by now? and besides a local petshop, where would you suggest buying crickets? I'm interested in...
Hi, new here, just got an approximately 5 month old female veiled, Lotus. I rescued her from Petsmart. Not to my surprise they gave me false information about her needs so I am building her a large screen enclosure over this weekend. Right now she is in a 12x16x24 Glass/screen enclosure. I was...
