It varies a lot! Male vieleds sometimes go through a brownish phase at about 6 months and not show their full adult colors for about a year. Others show color sooner. It is really hard to say. If they are being fed a high quality gutload, varied diet, get lots of good UVB in addition to more general light it will help.
