How old is my veiled?

[kris150]

I bought my male veiled from Petco almost 2 months ago so i'm not sure how old he is. Can anyone make a guess on how old you think he is?
Also, how old are they usually when you start feeding every other day? Right now i'm feeding him 6-8 dusted worms or crickets a day. Thanks!

I would guess he is about a year old. Give or take a couple months. He is old enough now to feed every other day but I continued to offer my older chams food every day. Omar was easy because he would feed from a cup. Some days he would eat others not so I would just put the crix back in their container at the end of the day.

Okay thank you!!

My guess would be closer to 6 or 7 months. I keep veileds and they are awesome chameleons! Below is my blog for new keepers. You might find it useful.

Thank you!

You are welcome and BTW he's a very handsome little guy. What's his name?

His name is Nigel. He's my baby

I would have to go with about a year also, but after they reach sexual maturity it's really a guessing game. He is a really good looking cham. He also appears to be quite mellow for an adult male you are very lucky.

Yes he's a handsome guy, and he is on the more mellow side, he puffs up at me at times but he'll come running out of his cage sometimes to walk around on my arms!
