At what age can you sex a Chameleon?

[ReqRep]

Title says it all. Just got a little guy (just gonna us 'him' for now) and I'm eager to know the gender. He's very small, so I'm assuming quite young. Not sure if it takes a while before you can tell or not.

Veiled chameleons can be added the day they are born by looking on the heels for tarsal spurs.

It depends on the type of chameleon. Some chameleons are sexable right out of the egg like panthers, while some like the meller's chameleon are very hard to sex even as adults. What species do you have? ^-^

Edit: I see it's a veiled now. Just by looking at the casque it looks like a she, but could you take some shots of the back feet?

Thanks for letting me know! I really liked the name Charlemagne, so I'm glad it can stay

It's a good name! Is it bad I have a small list of names for future chameleons? xD

Better to be prepared than not
