What is a good age to get a veiled chameleon at?

They are very fragile when they are young... Also there are natural die off periods that hatchlings go through in the first few months.

Yea, but there is something special about getting a baby frilly, and wondering if an adult male green anole can beat it in a fight...

Still if its a private breeder, no amount of begging is going to get you a cham younger than even 4 months.

I remember being on a waiting list " they are only 5 months old, im not shipping them NOW, you will have to wait, you can drive down and pick one up if you want"
 
I agree with the above especially if this is your first chameleon. I had a 2mo with coccidia and I couldn’t do anything to treat him for a month and it was stressful. Not saying that will happen to you just speaking from experience. :)
