Question about my first cham

[hinoco1225]

Hello everybody!

I got my first chameleon exactly two weeks ago. She is a juvenile veiled and seems to be doing great so far! I've done tons of research and used a lot of information I found here in order to properly embark on this journey.

I know I've already fallen victim to the chameleon addiction... I am already looking at male veiled chams for sale, thinking about how to rearrange my home to house them properly, and making plans to breed. I have a feeling this is going to become a VERY expensive endeavor... but entirely worth it. =)

I am posting pictures of her that were taken just a few days after I got her. She was just over 4 inches long, but she has grown a good bit since then. I will try to measure her later today to figure out exactly how much she has grown in the past two weeks. Can anybody help me guess her age based on her size? I know there's no way to know for sure, but I would like to have a general idea. I checked her out really well and asked several questions before I bought her, but for some reason it completely slipped my mind to ask how old she was.

I should probably clarify that she was 4 inches long including the tail, 2 inches without.

Hello, welcome to the forum - have a good look around, all info and inspiration you need is here........At that size she's about 8/9 weeks old.
She is now 2 1/2 to 3 months old. She's also really cute..........good luck!

Thanks you! That's about what I was thinking.
