Can you post a couple more pictures of her please?

Does she stand up high on her legs or does she always "hug the perch"?
 
she usually stands a bit higher, she just was not sure what to do as she dosent like me very much, and sticking my camera in her face shes not a big fan of!
 
In my opinion shes anywhere from 6-9 months old. But, she could be an older little gal, or in rare cases, a huge youngster. When did you get her and do you know her age? Are you just asking us for our opinion or...?
 
She is a little bit smaller than two of my bigger females were at 5 months. I'd say she's 5-6 months. Course like colorcham said if she is a smaller one from the clutch she could be like 8 months. If you're planning on breeding her I'd say wait till she weighs around 70 grams. I don't breed any of my females until they are at least that, they just seem so small if they are under that. Maybe she is only 5 months and you'll get a monster girl like my one from the cham co's anubis jr. line. She weighs in at 106 grams, and thats without eggs. She's bigger than my 11 month old male. Atleast weight wise.

My 5 month old sambava female is about 1/2 inch smaller than her, so... I think she's probably around 6-9 months like colorcham said.
 
i got her back in may at the reptile expo in the cow palace. I bought her from the LLL reptile vendor there. i just couldnt remember how old they said she was, i am thinking quite young. it just seems like its been forever and she hasnt gotten bigger(even though i know she has.). lol.also how do you all weight your chams? i can barely get her out to go on the ruler today.
 
Glue a stick to a bowl, weigh it then set the scale to negative whatever-the-bowl-and-stick-weighs then place her on the stick and weigh it all together.
 
oh yeah duh. lol i dont know why i didnt think of that! :confused:

Usually, you can just set the bowl on the scale and zero/clear it out. That way, it will only count your cham (or whatever else you put in the bowl). It's much easier to do, if you have the ability to, no setting anything to negatives or weighing anything other than your cham.
 
can you post more pictures. Sorry to be a bother. Especially in different angle.
Focus on the front limbs, please.

Thanks
 
My guess by looking at her and my 5mo old, I would have to say she has to be 7-9mo old. The little guy in getting that is only the size of my pinky or a little larger and 5mo like I said. Pics are posted of him under the general forum if you search my name. Good luck on finding his age or a round about idea.

Another idea for weighing is try a postal scale if you have one. I have one I used to use for ebay and thats what I weight with if I check.
