Hi all

My name is Kelly and I am now a first time Chameleon owner. Had him/her for around 48 hours now.

I am going to have a go at sexing him/her today as I wasn't sure how to, but have since found out.

I'm not sure how old he/she is, but the body (minus tail) is about 8cm or just over 9 inches. How old do you reckon he/she is roughly?

Feeding him/her gut fed locusts and have soft leafed green's in it's cage too. Gets misted 3-4 times a day. What other food can I provide given it's size?

I absolutely love him/her. I find them very interesting and am fascinated by them.

Hi, welcome to the forums.

1. What type of chameleon do you have?
2. Chameleons grow at different rates from many different factors. It will definitely be a rough guess
3. I will provide a link that i highly suggest that you read. The link will cover this question in better detail than i can type out. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/chameleons/

8 cm is 3 inches not 9
