I noticed the post about veiled sized earlier. I got my cham in june... 2 months after my friend got his. Granted his is female and mine is a male. Mine is almost a foot in length and when I got him he was just maybe 5 inches long. My friends cham is about the size of a normal ball-point pen! Maybe not even. It has not grown in size since they got it! Maybe an inch. What could be going wrong? They seem to be taking care of her right.

The most obvious things are inadequate hydration and hyper- or hypo-supplementation. But you and your friend should compare husbandry detail by detail and figure it out. That being said, females at that age should be fed less than males to prevent hyperovulation
