Male veiled age

[Dperez87]

Hey folks quick question hope you can help. I have a male veiled who i bought from lllreptiles. They say that baby veiled are shipped out at about 2 to 3 months old. I purchased him back in early sept. Which would put him at about 5 months. My question is does he look small for 5 month old male veiled? Ive seen pictures of other peoples at this age and they all seem to dwarf him. Or is it just me. I appreciate the help thanks

Anyone know?

I am no good at guessing ages but someone will give it a go soon.
Even if he is dwarfed he sure is pretty

To me he looks like he's around that age.

He also looks very calm and mellow. Is he friendly?

 

[Dperez87]

well when hes in his enclosure he will puff up but once hes out he calms down, hes a curious little guy

I think he looks around 5 months old. Does he have spurs on the backs of his heels?

 

[Dperez87]

ok well maybe its just me haha.. yes he does have spurs

He might be a tiny bit small for his age, but only a bit. Id say he looks good for 5 months.

will he catch up eventually? or will he be smaller

I have a 5 and a 6 month old male veiled and he looks right in there size wise. Growing can happen in jumps and starts. Don't worry about it. It happens when it happens.

It's true, I worried about the sizes of mine too . He looks fine, pay no attention to the lying close up photos you see, lol
He looks in good condition with a nice pattern too, congrats

Photos can be VERY deceiving. When i got my first panther, i thought he was going to get WAY bigger than he ever did because of close up photos. I have a few pictures that makes him look like a giant, but in reality he is a smaller cham. Your's looks good Dont worry about size. They are just like us. Grow at different rates, and dont all get the same size.

 

[Dperez87]

I appreciate all your inputs. I think i just payed to much attention to it
