Size of a one year old veiled?

[Slofe]

Here's my little pal, Isambard:



I uploaded a pic of me holding him, which is a rare occasion, to give an idea of his actual size. I've read chameleons generally reach full size at a year old but not sure how true this is. I can't help thinking Isambard is a bit small for his age and maybe I got the runt of the litter? If there is such a thing for chameleons. He's got not health any problems, decent appetite etc but I think he's a little small for a one year old as i've seen one year olds a fair bit bigger than Isambard is. It's fine if he is, as long as it causes no problems to his health, which so far it hasn't. I kind of wish he'd stayed a baby anyway but such as life eh? Look forward to your thoughts

He's a handsome guy! They keep on growing. He will grow till 18 months or two years. My guy's over two years old and it seems like he's still filling out.

Ah ok, so lots of growing left yet then!

On the subject of his handsomeness Is that colour he's showing OK? The reason I ask is because he's that sort of shade most of the day, maybe a bit lighter. When that pic was taken the camera unnerved him a bit I think, but all day he's colour is that sort of shade but a bit lighter, never any darker than that though. He's never the colour he is now when he's asleep, I love his pyjamas .

Strangely, he goes even lighter, almost at his sleeping colours on the rare occasion he walks onto my hand. I don't hold him too often though, i'm not very touchy feely with animals really.
