Chameleons grow quickly; would there ever be a case for deliberately holding their growth back when young, by feeding less. Say for example to ensure calcium uptake is achieved on a more even level?

I have never done this and my chams have always had plenty to eat right from a very young age, I have tried to also ensure correct UVA/B, calcium supplementation, varied diet, correct temps etc.

It is just a thought and I wondered if there was ever a case for this and if so why?

Thanks Rick
