Thanks thats more like it A true Specimen!!!!!!

Is he CB If so how long did it take to get that big , how old is he & has he stopped growing now??

 

[Julirs]

He is now almost 2 1/2-I would have to say he grew for about 18 months. I have not noticed him getting any bigger since then. They really fill out after 15 months-meaning they get that height to their bodies that you see in the older Veileds. Best thing is-he is the "friendliest" and most handleable chameleon I know-but those claws sure dig into your arms since he is so heavy and has the killer grip!

Juli i never saw that thread he is a monster all my males are runts compared to him ! My understanding is that wild males are larger than cb males anybody care to weigh in on this?

 

[Julirs]

I have seen 2 WC males that are larger than Leon. The FL WC Veileds here seem to be huge with huge casques!

Hes very colourfull !! my understanding is that they do get MASSIVE in the wild (in general) possibly due to the unfiltered uv rays and abbundance of different food sources....?

wow louie is great i had a veiled before jack, his name was diablo, and i remember him being HUGE.......i never measured him though.....here's one of jack on my hand, he's a pretty big dude, and soooo friendly ( despite the mood in the pic, he has his "fightin hand" up ) i've never measured him.....perhaps i will when he's feeling better.

I just had a couple of questions.

What exactly is up with the X.1 or X.3 Veileds....whats up with the number DOT number?

Does anyone know what "CB", "FL", and "WC" veileds are? What do those initials stand for?

1.2 means one male and two female

CB = Captive bred
FL = Florida
WC = Wild Caught
