Welcome to the forums and congrats on your chameleon. Is this your first chameleon? Without seeing the heels of the back feet I can’t tell if you have a boy or girl but the boys have a little bump called a spur on the heels of both back feet. Your baby looks about two to three months old.

Depends on the angle. I could tell Mushu was a male the second he came out of his egg. He had a teeny tiny little spur, but you could only see it from a side view.Could be that because it is so young. If it is a male, there is a tiny spur which is hard to spot.... Which leads to the female guess. But at the same time it looks like there is something.It can be hard to sex baby Yemen's.

Would a 30x18x18 screen cage be a good for a adult female vailed?

Looks like shed... It will let go when it is ready as long as your husbandry is correct. But the plastic that she is having to grip on is not good for her feet. I would recommend you fill out the husbandry form that was posted above for you on April 14th. And taking pictures of the entire enclosure including your lighting on top.
