Size question

[kobe24]

I have a 6 month old male veiled chameleon and was wondering how much bigger he will get and also when he will be considered an adult, thanks.

Not sure how big yours is, but mine grew quite a bit still after 6 months. She's about a year and a half, and I have to remember to weigh her because I still thinks she's growing. Male veileds can get two foot (12 inches snout to vent). I'm guesstimating that my female is about 13-14 inches snout to tip of tail. Of course males can grow considerably larger than females. Not too sure about the age classification thing though. I know there's sub adult and adult classes. I'm guess at a year and a half mine would be a sub adult; starting at one year, and an adult at two???

Mine isnt that big i would say about 4 inches without including the tale, maybe 3. I hope he gets a lot bigger. Thanks for the reply

He most definetly will. Just make sure he's getting the right nutrients and the humidity is good for shedding as his skin stretches during growth. Beware of too much humidity and nutrients, but the veileds are pretty hearty.

I've read they're considered fully grown "adults" at 2 years.

Thanks for the reply. How often will he shed because I haven't noticed him shedding yet. I've only had him for around 3 weeks. Thanks again for the reply.

Hey thanks for the reply. I have a long wait then if he's only around 6 months old. I can't wait to see how big he gets. Chameleons are the best reptiles IMO.
