Hi there...I have had my Meller's for about 3 months now, and it doesn't seem to be growing...are they slow growers to begin with? Cage setup has live plant, dripper, sprayed 2-3 times a day, etc.....
Thanks a bunch....

yes, they do grow a little more slowly than the others, but all chams grow differently. mellers take around 18 months to reach maturity, how old is yours? you should probably spray more often than 2-3 times a day, more like 5 or 6.......

Not sure how old "it" is...probably about 6 months old, got it at a Reptile show in MD in March or April and it wasn't but maybe a month at that time...

when i got my mellers, he was about 6 months old, and pretty small, about 4-5" snout to vent. i've had him for 5 months now, and he now measures around 20" total, 10" snout to vent. he doubled in no time. just be patient, we never really noticed him growing, just one day, noticed that he took up most of his cage, again!
