I got my Male Veiled Chameleon on Febuary 15th.He is 6 inches head to tail is that a good size for his age.How many Crickets should i feed him daily.

and how old is he?

When i got him in Febuary he was 3 inches or so.

so he has only grown 3" total? if he is only 6" now from head to tip of his tail, then, no that is not good. Butters, my youngest cham, has grown from about 2" snout to vent, to about 5" since middle of may. he is around 4-5 months old now. yours is probably in the age range of 5-6 months. does he have any color at all? since he is so young, i would probably reccomend around 8-10 crix a day. make sure to lightly dust them with ph free calcium 3x weekly, and a good multi-vit at the same time.

He has great colours,but i have only been feeding him 5 every second day.I will make sure he has crickets and mealworms at all times.He is big enough for supers too(He ate some).

Can u show me a pic of the whole bodie and tail?Cause mine looks about the same size of the photo u showed me.But my Veileds casque looks bigger than your Chameleon's casque.

not stretched out, i probably have some with his tail curled, if you want that.

Ya,that would be great.I am not good at telling sizes,but my brother pointed out to me that the veiled is around 8 inches tail tip to snout.
