I was also gonna ask what size the cage was, but a lot of people just keep the baby cage until they're around 6 months old.
The general consensus would be to wait until about 5 - 6 months, but I'm not sure if this is necessary. I moved Zaphod into his adult home as soon as I built it. He was about 2 months old at the time. He was cup feeding already, so I knew he was eating well, and there was plenty of foliage for shelter if he needed to escape the lighting for a while. Zaphod loved his new home 
. This may be early for some chameleons, and may not be the "best" way to do it, but it worked for us.

There really is no specific time it depends on how quick they grow etc. I tend to put my animals in their adult cages quite early.
I recently got a 4-5 month female panther and put her straight in a 2x2x4 screen cage. This is bigger than they need as adults but I keep female the same as males. She has been fine. Aslong as they are getting their food they wil be fine, and they love the extra space!
