How to age Veiled Chameleon?

I was wondering if anyone had any guesses how old this little lady could be? I got her from a pet store and they couldn’t tell me. They said the best they could figure was she was a female. Thoughts?

Nice yemen chameleon. I think its done by length. 2 months is about 3.5 inches so you can go from there. Im a newbie to chams so i dont know a whole lot yet. You may want to wait for other replies too.

Length isnt always accurate. If I had to guess Shes between 4-6 months. She is already showing her mustard colored spots.

Are the yellow spots an indication of something? She does have them. All over. They seem to change colors from vibrant to almost orangish.

Means she is or is close to sexual maturity. See this link and scroll to the Female Veiled Chameleon section. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

She is going to need a egg laying bin soon.

Thank you for letting me know because I had no clue. The pet store told me 7 months or so she would be mature but didn’t know her age. I will start prepping that now. Better safe than sorry.
