My female veiled is about 4 months and is about 23 grams the last time I weighed her was a month ago and she was 11 grams. Is this a healthy increase or should she weigh more? Thanks!
Is she a healthy weight?

Determining if her weight is healthy or not is impossible without pictures. Veiled chameleons have a highly variable growth rate so some will be larger than others at 4 months of age. So make sure to take pics from multiple angles.

I agree...we need pics please.

Of course no problem here you go! The last two photos are from exactly 1 month ago where she weighed 11 grams

She looks to be a healthy weight to me. Little cutie! I am curious about her feet though...the black/dark areas around her toes. Does she ever climb the enclosure top and hang upside down near the lights?

She doesn’t ever hang upside down near the light she usually basks an a branch nearby. The dark areas around her toes used to worry me too but they’ve always been there even since when I got her. The dark areas only show up when she darkens as well so I’m pretty sure it’s nothing to worry about. The pictures attached are from when I got her about a month ago and if you look at her back legs you can see the dark pattern is there even before she entered her cage. Like I said before I don’t think it’s anything but a second opinion is always valuable so what are your thoughts?

Looks kinda like a low translucent to me. Could be wrong, though.

Ok. I was concerned that they may be burns but @Ambilobe123 may be correct. I see you filled out the husbandry questions in another post but a couple of things weren’t addressed. I’m going to head over to that post and give you a full review with some suggestions for your little cutie pie.
