Hi. I have an almost 4 month old Jackson chameleon. He will be 4 months on 12/23/14. I just feel like he should be bigger, but he seems healthy and eats well. He eats fruit flies and pinheads. He is about 3-4 inches snout to tip of tail. Hard to measure, he won't hold still. At about 2 months he was about as long as my fist. He is a little bigger now. He was a surprise to use from our female adult we bought for my daughter. We still have her and she is doing great. So I am learning as I go here. So any information would be great. I just wanted to make sure growth wise he is on track. Here is some info on him...
