That is a just hatched veiled (if that is full length with tail) and will need 1/8 to 1/4" crickets and or fruit flies. Its normally the width between the eyes is how large the food can be.

If that is a Snout to Vent length then the food items will be a little larger like 3/8" crickets and no fruit flies.

You can also use butter worms, small silkworms but no mealies til they are at least 4 weeks old.

I use Ghann.com for crickets
I use Josh's Frogs for fruit flies

At tht age you should be able to feed 3/8" crickets and some small mealies, butter worms, small silks and some greens.

Wow, thats really small to be selling already. If you haven't purchased one yet, you might want to concider waiting until they are a little older just to be safe. That size can be a challenge for even an experienced chameleon keeper.

Veileds are pretty hardy, Ive bought many 10 lots at 3 and 4 weeks old and never had any problems, you just really have to stay on top of their care. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask, even if you read all of the books there is always something smallor large unanswered.
