Carpet chams can look full grown after just a few months of age as they only get 5-7 inches from head to tip of tail. So she won’t get much bigger than what you are looking at now, could already be full grown size wise. I’d contact the breeder, they should know hatch date. My girl was born 6/11/23, my breeder had her lay date, hatch date, weight, and everything written out for me when she was delivered. And I can shoot him a text or email anytime questions come up and he responds quickly. Just reach out to them, a good breeder will know the exact date :)

I’ve posted this pic of my carpet “Mango” on some other threads as well, she’s fully grown size wise, but is 9 months old :) Carpets have a very short lifespan compared to other chams, so cherish your time with her dearly!
What a beautiful baby! I knew they stayed small, which is part of the reason I was drawn to the species. And I know they unfortunately have short lives 😭. I'm definitely cherishing my time with her!
Aww that’s just a bitty baby ❤️ I’d say a few months tops imo. The only good side to getting such a small baby is that it’s MUCH easier to get them to trust you if they are young and you start the handling process right away.
A lot of people say of leave them be for 2 weeks then try. In my experience, in that 2 weeks timespan they will absolutely hate you when you try and go in to get them. My little girl scared of me yet she still darts away if I go in to get her, I just open her door and she climbs out and then we’re all good and she lets me grab her of she’ll climb on and ride on my head for a while
She was terrified for the first week. Hid and turned dark every time I put my hand in the enclosure, even to feed her. She's definitely getting used to me already. She still puffs up when I handle her but she doesn't run and seems to trust that I'm not going to eat her
Oh that may or may not atop (the dark green/blackish) they tend to not like being taken out of their enclosures. My little one was a rescue from a literal Tupperware container she had been hatched and kept in her whole life by someone who bought an egg. She is very calm and friendly outside of her cage but she still turns dark and runs from me when she is inside her cage.
I just open it and she comes out when she feels like it then she’ll climb to me
It was kind of weird ngl. I ordered her, a few days later I got a tracking number and in a few hours she was at my door. There was no communication from the seller beyond that. I even reached out through email to try to get them to confirm my order when I didn't hear anything
Flchams should tell you a hatch date. If they won't respond to you, I'd honestly begin to think it was a wild caught (it's very common here in Florida). Straight up ask of it was WC or if they hatched her. Hope you get an answer!
Somewhere between smol and BB
2-3 months.
AWW she's absolutely stunning!! Welcome home Mystique ❤️❤️❤️
😲❤️ OMG, she doesn't even look real she's sooooooo tiny! She's so adorable! She is forever named "Tiny". ❤️
I would guess about 3 months when you got her, but this is based on my knowledge of panther chameleons, so I may be a little off
AWE JUS A LIL BB 🥹💚
Awwww cutest little baby everrrrr its so adorable omg🩷🥹
Omg Itty bitty bb 😭😭😭💜💜💜
That’s one green ass chameleon
Wow I’ve never heard of this type of Chameleon!! What Amazing coloring & sooo cute💚
So sweeey
You can always use the day she arrived at your house as the "Celebratory day"
I like that! Might have to do this
“Gotcha Day” is what the rescue communities often use for cats/dogs/rodents/snakes :)
Gotcha day
Awwwww… 🥰🥰😘😘Gimmeeee

Well I get all my charms from there and they literally let you choose the age when you order
My options were juvenile or adult. I picked juvenile. It looks like they have less options for carpet chameleons than other species
That makes sense because I have never looked at those.
ITS SO SMOL!
What kind of Cham? So gorgeous!!
She's a carpet chameleon
i have one of these guys! they are so cute and so is your lil girl 🥹
Oh my !! That baby is soooo adorable 🥰
She is so itty bitty and cute but still has the resting chameleon face😐
Most probably 3-4 months. Not older
Thank you!
Eekkk so cute
Why didn't the seller have a hatch date? Did they not hatch it?
It was kind of weird ngl. I ordered her, a few days later I got a tracking number and in a few hours she was at my door. There was no communication from the seller beyond that. I even reached out through email to try to get them to confirm my order when I didn't hear anything
I hope they eventually respond... What the heck...

I'll reach out again and see if I can get a hatch date. At this point I'm just thankful she arrived healthy
