Vailed Chameleons age

[cadet013755]

I got this vailed chameleon yesterday and was told by the breeder that it was 10 weeks old. Its only about 3" long. can anyone give me an idea of its true age

 

[camimom]

if its ten weeks old, its a runt.
i would put that baby at maybe a month old, if that.

it was way to young to be sold.

Id guess even younger than that. The head is the same shape as a hatchling.

Thank you for your help. I was thinking about two weeks old. If it is a runt will it survive ok ?

 

[camimom]

2 weeks seems alot closer.

how are you housing him?

In a small glass viv at the moment inside the main viv. She is feeding and drinking ok
