They are really all different. My Sambava in my avatar was an ugly duckling at 6 months! He had hardly any color and look at the way he turned out! My Ambanja that I just posted a thread on just started to color up over the past few weeks. He just turned 6 months old today. It really depends on the chameleon. It will happen, you just have to be patient!!!

are you dusting correctly...calc...multi vit...d3?? i have a particular schedule i follow and i got Charlie wonka from a guy who didn't know what he was getting into..he had some blue some green but other colors were present but dull. he was 2 years old...since i had him he has went HD!! i have seen him go from vivid green and blue to blue and red one day i was astonished to see red blue orange and yellow it was awesome!! i figured the since he was getting more then just dusted crickets was the reason....i feed horns ..butters..meals..and bug burger loaded crickets try it out he might amaze you too

He's still young, he may not really start to pop until he hits 6 months, give or take. No two animals are the same and different locales will develop differently as well.
Here is a blog with two panther males from different locales, raised the same way, showing how differently they can mature: Two Panthers Growing Up - Photo Progression
It might calm your nerves a little.

Ha. I'm on the same boat as you. I love my panther but everytime I go to this forum and look at pictures of chameleons here that have vibrant colors and are about the same age as mine I get mad jealous. Haha. I got mine from a reputable breeder though and the sire looks awesome. I guess I just need to be patient. Haha.

I was super disappointed in my Ambilobe. He was a dull grey/brown and green until 8 months then POP, overnight He was screaming Yellow with Red bars! So far all of His offspring are super dull too and they are going on 4 months! Then I have a Blue Bar who is screaming at 5 months, it all depend on the lines I believe!
