Well, after seeing SoCaliSon's post, I'd have to say that is one beautiful, baby, veiled you've got there Taomuheifu. If SoCaliSon's came from Julirs, then it hatched out at about mid July.
Garo is absolutely gorgeous. You've got a great cham there.
Supplements will help keep him strong and healthy, but must be applied appropriately. Here's are a few threads on supplement schedules that may be helpful:

http://vipervenom9.tripod.com/id17.html
THIS THREAD HAS A GROUP OF SUPPLEMENT LINKS:
https://www.chameleonforums.com/great-supplement-routine-search-16247/
If these links end up being confusing to you, because of slightly different recommendations, then you may want to come back to your thread here and ask some specific, directed, supplement questions to narrow it down.
This link here likely contains most all the information you would need for raising a healthy veiled cham, including supplements, lightings, feeders, cage, etc.

Not so fast guys...
... I would have agreed with you before... But he looks about the same size as my 3month old baby Lombardi. Based on some of the pics I have seen of Juli's remaining babies... Some of his brothers and sisters are closer to the size of an Avg. 3 month old(10-20grams), but he has grown huge quick... Does this look like a 3 month old cham to you guys?
... Welp he is.
Look at the size of the Cham in relation the the hand in both pics. I almost can't believe it either but my little guy is a solid 40 grams weeks before his 4 month b-day.
Great looking Baby you got there. He has some killer colors!

I NEVER assume the age of a chameleon.
At any given point (especially in their first year) size means little in relation to age.

This is not that big of an animal.
Look at the thumb of the person holding it in comparison to the chameleon's length.
Lombardi is much bigger.

Ah. He is even younger than 3 months . Only 2 months and twenty days . He grows up quickly . Sometimes I even feel the different size only during 1 day . I think perhaps it depend on his good appetite . He can eat 18 little crickets or even more one day. Maybe it is too much . Maybe just OK . I don't know . I only feel he's very excited when he sees his food and eat quickly .
Here is the pic when he was almost 1 month old . I think he was a little thin during that time .

Lombardi was not all that exciting when I mailed him unless fired up, but look at him now! Yours when he was fired up was nothing short of stunning-so give him a little time and don't forget to post pics-your guy has some amazing colors!

I find I made a mistake . Oh my GOD . I spelt the wrong letter . He is called Gero , not Garo . So sorry .
