For the People with Scales

[Justin Carl]

I wanted to start a thread on chameleon weight.
I know questions like this have been asked before, but I wanted to get a diverse thread started.
How much does your chameleon weigh?
What species is it?
What sex is it?
How old is it?
How long is it?

Thanks
Justin

I know you are looking for the full grown chameleons but why not start from the first week of their lives. lol

40 veiled Chameleons
Average weight as of yesterday: 1.1 grams
I didn't record sex when getting their weight
1 week old veileds
My guess, they are about 2 inches long from tip to tail

I almost rewrote the title of this thread for that reason.

I just got a scale and weighed everybody this weekend. I got one with a 300g max, because a 300g cham (veiled, panther) would be huge. But I forgot to factor in the weight of the things you've got to put ON the scale (sticks or fake vines) to get the chams to STAY ON THE SCALE! So if you're in the market, go for at least a 500g.

Anyway, here's my results:

Baltazar, 1 1/2 year male veiled 172
Ray, 1 year male panther 148
Lucinda, 5 month female veiled 86.5
Linda Lee, 5 month female veiled 77
Xerxes, 10 month male veiled 103
Rana, 5 1/2 month female panther 47
Wendy, 14 month female panther early gravid 71.4
Marie, 13 month female veiled, maybe retained sperm gravid 129

Thanks everyone for posting!
I brought the scale into work today.
So, I only have a few weights.
Igor, male Veiled, 14 months, 16", 155g
Girl, Female Veiled, 5 months, 10",64g
Monty, male Montium, 3 months, 3.5", 4g

I sold him, but this was previous to that.
Captain Jack, male Spectrum, WC, 3" 3g

Alex, can you not zero your scale?
Sometimes if you place you stick or bowl on the scale before you turn it on it will zero out.

Keep growing that Veiled Justin-get him up to "Leon" weight!

Leon-male Veiled, 1.5 years, 201 grams, 20 inches long!

If i didn't think she would kill me-I would weigh my female-she is huge also!

Yeah, I can zero it, what I'm saying is if the max is 300g and you put the vine on it which weighs, say 50g, you've got a 250g ceiling for your cham. It's digital, so you can't just roll it back like an analog.

Anyone else?
I'm also looking for female Veiled weights with an age reference.
Thanks!
