Male Green Ameiva Isn’t Very Green?

[EatYourChair]

This is my first time joining this forum, so I hope this is the right place to post. I am not sure how old he is but he is around a foot long, but still, physically, doesn’t look very mature. I would say between 6-8 months old. He has the enlarged femoral pores of a male, as well as the light blue markings on the hind legs. But he just isn’t green... at all. Will it show up as he gets older?

It's hard to say. Can you post a photo of him? If he's unhappy he won't "color up" as they say. He's also probably not quite mature as you said.
Update us with a pic!

I sure will! He’s currently still snoozing, but once he wakes up and starts roaming around, I’ll snag a pic and post is asap!

No idea - looks healthy and alert. We all worry more than we should when were new at this. Make sure he has plenty of water.

Unfortunately he passed peacefully last night before a scheduled vet appointment I had for him. Thank you for the tips in case I get another one sometime in the future. <3
