How to determine the age of a veiled chameleon?

[caroooo]

Dexter is our newly member of our family, however, I do not know his age. Is there a way I can find it?
Thanks!

Post an up to date picture and let people guess - this really is the best way unless you saw him hatch.
I assume you don't trust the person you got him from, or they didn't know?

Well, first off, he looks really good and healthy to me - I have kept a couple of veileds and am no expert but my estimate is around 5 months.

I'd say 5-6 months

Hello !
I have the same age question about my male veiled.

Hi, your guy is a bit younger, probably about 4 months old.

AW no wonder he eats so much !

id say around 6-7 months thats cause my veiled was around the same size at about 7 months, he could be 4-5 also

So i only have a picture when we took him home from the store and videos of him crawling on me when we got home and cant post videos

Yes, that is very normal. They might not eat for a couple of days as well. I would let him settle for about a week or two.

I would venture a guess of close to 4 months old.
