They darken to absorb heat and lighten when they are warm enough.

Good plan. I don't own the same species of jackson as Kemi so I don't know their exact growth rate. He just has very mature horns. That's why I thought he was a older.
There is a blog someone put to ether that tracts the weight of theirs as he grew. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/weight-tracking-on-jackson.2343/ Maybe the info will be of some use to you as yours grows. Size and growth rate can vary by individual even among clutch mates.

Oh that is awesome! Exactly what I need! Thank you so much! Everyone have been so helpful, I am so grateful!

Oh that makes sense, I saw that they will often turn one side light and the other dark to balance the absorption and loss of heat I just didn't know that that happens when they are a good temperature. I guess I just assumed that they did this when they don't have enough and are tying to obtain more.
