Hey everyone!!! We purchased our Cham about a month and a half ago. The place we adopted her from originally said it was a boy, but it doesn't have the spurs on the back feet or the bump under the tail. They also said She is two months old, I feel like she Is older than that? What do yall think??
How old is my Cham?

Sorry, I thought I had posted one below! Lol
For sure older than 2 months. Anyone who knows anything about chameleons can tell you that is an adult/close to adult female veiled chameleon. I would strongly encourage you to have your husbandry reviewed as well because anyone who tells you that is a 2 month old male probably isn't giving out correct husbandry advice. Lucky for you though, lots of people here are willing to help

Also since you do have a female, you'll need to provide her a laying bin so she can lay her infertile eggs. This is a good resource:

Ok thank you, I am going tommorow to get the sand. She was down at the bottom earlier today scoping out the bottom. I want to get on in there now just in case! She has been eating alot the past two days
Are the "Big Girl" colors brighter? Should I post phone on the egg lay bin in the enclosure then?
I would still put the egg bin in. It's always better to have one in the cage.
She should get mustard yellowish splotches and blue dots when mature. You need to control the female's diet and temperatures if you don't want them to have reproductive issues and lay huge clutches too. That should start soon.

Ok I will set that up tommorow then! I'm looking forward to seeing her colors
right now her baking temp gets to 90 and her cool temp is 80, at night its 70. Her diet is mostly crickets, about 15 a day. Horn worms and superworms with some calcium without D3, twice a month I will dust them with a multivitamin.
