When will my Veiled start showing colors?

So I got Vivid five months ago from the pet store, which I'm guessing he was a month and a half or so old then so I'd say he's probably about six and a half months old. He's showing just a little bit of either very light brown or red, black of course, and a small bit of yellow and white. I was wondering when his full colors will coming in? I can see a small hint of his stripes coming in the last two pictures, if those are his stripes. I got a few pictures of my cute guy, with a pictures that also proves he's male

he looks very small for a 6 month old male to me. has he been tested for parasites such as coccadia that can stunt growth? if not i would have that done if you are positive of the age. he appears to have MBD by the curved legs, i would get him to a vet asap.

Well I got him exactly 5 months ago on August 14th bc that's my birthday. I don't really know how old he was when I got him from the pet store, I was just assuming the 6th month but I'm not sure if he was a month and a half old when I got him.

As for the MBD, I've already taken him to the vet and she gave me advise on how to make sure it doesn't advance. When I first got him I admit my husbandry wasn't the best, I wasn't using the right lights, I didn't know that I had to dust the food with calcium. But I learned quickly what was happening by a member on here and changed my lights to a basking heat bulb and a uvb bulb, I started misting more, dusting crickets and other food with calcium(D3) and it's turned around his health ALOT. After about a month of getting him at the pet store, I was afraid he was going to die because they gave me horrible husbandry advise at first that I didn't know at the time and he wouldn't move, and he was laying down with his eyes closed. But since I took him to the vet and changed husbandry, he's standing up more, he's walking all over the place, he's eating just fine (being such a ferocious eater), and he is much healthier now. I've taken all the steps to make sure that he would get better and MBD would not progress any farther.
