4mo Panther Chameleon...Head Bobbing?

[Davidlahache]

Hello! We just got our new 4 month old panther chameleon (FEMALE as I've been told). So we got her in her enclosure and she seems to be "Head Bobbing", its always nodding horizontally and it happens sonewhat frequently, now I have never seen this before and wondering of this is normal

Are we sure that she is in fact a "she"? Do you have a pic of the tail base?

 

[Davidlahache]

No I'm not sure at all,perhaps you could me identify its sex, is possible,

 

[LitldevlblueBar]

just by the colors alone im guessing you have a male.......

 

[maxttu]

I'm almost wanting to say "male"...

 

[PantherEnvy]

There may be a possibility that she/he is trying to shake off the shed (skin).

Pretty dominant stripes and pattern.

[LitldevlblueBar]

ya thats a total male right there color are to strong to be a female congratulations its a BOY !

 

[Davidlahache]

That's such a relief! My last veiled was a female, she got big, and during her last clutch she was egg bound and didn't show any signs at all, and she died, so I was hoping that I could get a male to prevent that, thank you guys for all your help and comments it's much appreciated!

 

[Davidlahache]

So he's horny?

 

[carol5208]

yeah I say definitely a male also. Lot of nice colors already!

 

[shaunaroxanne]

For sure, no doubt. No way is that a female. Hope that's good news for you

One of my females does the head bobbing, but not as pronounced as the males do and by the colors, I do agree you have a boy.

 

[Lancecham]

100% male!!
