[Greenthecham]

I've had her for about 6 months but when I got her she's was around 4 inches now she's about 7 or 8

Im not an expert so I cant give you any idea of how old really but if I post others may weigh in with a guess. I would say try to get more photos of it close up and some may be able to tell! She cute tho!

Sorry to say she's very small for how long you've had her. At 6 months old she should be larger than she is now, but if she was already 4 inches when you got her she's definitely not growing at a normal rate. It also concerns me her eyes are closed in the first picture. Have you had her tested for parasites? Any vet visits at all?

Chams explode in growth the first few months... for example
Granted my daughters hand is closer in the second pic ... but it's still the same cham on the same hand and just 2 months of growth. Maybe it's your feeders lighting supplements.... but chances are from what I've learned and heard alot on here I'd guess a parasite. But don't take my word I've learned here time and time again I know nothing

No vet visits she's always up and about her eyes rarely close unless she's sleeping but her growth does concern me I've had her for awhile I'll take any advice I can get

Yes for they age you gave she certainly looks small. Like @bobcochran said, have you ever gotten her tested for parasites? My Stark had coccidia which causes anorexia and stunted growth. He is still small for his age but eats normally now. About how much does she eat?

I put 15 large crickets in the cage she's had about 8 or 9 in the past 2 days

Depends where you live honestly....

Where are you located? We could try to find a vet for you. My fecal cost 30 and the meds (there were 2) were 50 together

I would have to guess she would have a parasite. Only a fecal would show though

When stark had coccidia he would only eat about 4 or 5 a day and that was on a good day. That being my first cham I had no idea that was not normal for a cham his age. Im very gald I got a fecal when I did

I live in Tampa FL I've never seen a cham grow so fast though

 

[rambonerzilla]

But I'm pretty sure I have a freak of a cham he sheds like every ten days and just keeps getting bigger. But no bs that was just a two month gap in pics

I've never seen her she'd ever not once

PM or ask @jannb she is Florida too I believe. Yeah I got a freak I think.... seriously when I bought him I chose him cause he was the smallest. Hand on the bible right there

You have had her for 6 month and havent seen her shed once? Have you ever seen shed skin remains?

She's had this little white piece the size of like a pin head that's all I've seen and not in her new cage no

So I'll have to get her checked out where would I go for that?
