Just missed his fired up colors! Damn slow camera!

He has a beautiful design pattern!

That guy is 4 months old. My guy is supposed to be at 4 months and he is 1/4 that size?!?

Do panthers grow at drastically different rates? Do they have a huge growth spurt? How big was he a month ago?

He's not 4 months... Mine is less than 3 and he looks closer to that size... There are factors that would contribute to growth rates but not THAT drastic... How are you sure he is 4 months?

I was told the hatch date was 2/14/11 and he was 3 months old when I received him about a month ago.

Where did you get him from? I'm no expert but I have two panthers, one is almost 3 months and is bigger than that guy and I have a 5 month old I have had since he was 3 months and he also was much bigger than that... I would put your guy closer to 2.5-3 months

Thanks. Bought him off a breeder through this forum, but don't really want to name him in case of a misunderstanding. So, they can triple in size in 1 to 1-1/2 months?


Sorry to OP for highjacking the thread. Great looking guy you have.

They definitely have a huge spurt somewhere in the younger timeframe... My Stan JUMPED in length in just a month... He's now like 13 inches from snout to tip at a little over 5 months old

Also depends on how much you're feeding the chameleon, and if he is housed outside vs inside. Some babies are just slow growers though

Yes these guys can easily double in size in a month my Veiled has doubled in size in the month and a half i have had em, and those are some nice colors on Rango over there i think i see a touch of blue!
