How old is my cham?

[Etheoffo]

This is my veiled I've had for a little over a month. When I got him I wasn't told his age and gender and he looked skinny. The first photo was a few days after we got him. I figured out he was a male by his spurs but I have no clue how old he is and I feel like it's important to know. My guess would be around 5-7 months.

Hi. My best guess would be 4-5 months. I am going to caution you about using artificial plants and the mossy vine. Both can be impaction hazards as veileds tend to eat their plants. All live and safe plants are not only safer, but look tons better. Not sure if you’re new to having a chameleon, but this is a great resource for the most accurate and up to date care. https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-husbandry-program-getting-started-with-chameleons/ You can also check out the many videos on YouTube or Neptune the chameleon.

I’d say 4-5 months as well.

Thanks. Since I got him I have added two live plants into there, and I've replaced 80% of the mossy vine. Been working to make it better.
