He could be 2 months - one of mine was shipped to me at a month old, and the length of his head was the same length as my thumbnail. Be careful at supplimenting at this age - it's very easy to overdo it. I'd keep his basking just under 30 celcius, and you should be fine. Good luck with him - he's really cute! Do you have a name for him yet?
 
Ohh im so glad to hear that's ok :D I will lower a bit. Tho he have many levels to climp up and down so he can go as he like :)

His name is Chudy (skinny)
Since i was a small kid (im 28 now) and i saw one in pet shop i always wanted to have one :)

I will make a post to keep everyone interested with updates :)
Thanks for reply!
 
Omg baby chameleon head and face... I can't help it. I think he looks fine. He could be on the small side or not, it depends on his hatchmates and etc. He looks healthy to me otherwise. He may do better with a bit more hydration? He looks a little dehydrated in the picture? But that of course depends on how his urates look when goes next. Otherwise he has happy curious baby face. I would definitely recommend adding supplements but do agree to be super careful when doing so. I want to squish his face too much XD
