5 inches head to butt?

 

[Lgustave]

isn't 5 inches alot for a 1 month old? Steve is about 1 month old and is quite smaller, I just want to know if he is too small.

yea im not very clear on the age, but it is around 5 to 6 inches head to tail.

I got my new chameleon just tuesday and he seems to be doing very good. he explores all around his cage and loves his drip system, drinking the water off the leaves. hes been eating a few crickets, but not a whole lot of them. im not sure if his cage is to much for him. i have a ficus tree in there for him and thinking about taking it out, but he really likes walking on and around it. he has vines all around his cage, they do go over his feeder cup but he mainly stays at the top and doesnt walk down to the bottom areas. will he walk down to his feeder cut or should i put the cut in his tree. i had it like that earlier today and he ate some like that, but i fed him again and all he seemed to do was sit infront of the cup and look in at the crickets and not climb above it and eat them. just curious about that. he is sleeping i think right now, hes just sitting on a leaf and not moving so i guess hes asleep, lol. well i would post pictures of his cage but i cant get my pictures to work. i thank anyone can help me with those questions i asked. thanks alot!
