Gender I.D. Juvenile Ambilobe

[TamanWali]

Just trying to get a overall opinion on this guy or gal. Initially thought male from breeder due to slight bulge after vent when this cham was a couple months younger. But now I do not see any bulge but also no indent after the vent?? Help is appreciated!!

Male, his tail base is thick and the body has a "straight line" through it

Hmmm, you sure that that straight line means male? My young nosy be had that same thing and is looking more and more female to me everyday( still could be a male)

Usually it's a good way to tell. Nosys are hard though.....but males tend to have that thick tail base and the "straight line" body. I can't say for sure, only time will tell

But for the time being, provide the more nutritious diet that you would give a female. The additionally food and vitamins will so far less harm to a male as opposed to a female that becomes egg-bound due to the lack of it.

Thank you for the replies. I was thinking the same thing because of the thick tail base. But I am just so unsure. Time will tell on this little guy or girl. Attached is a picture just taken.

For diet, this is what he/she is currently eating. Looking for recommendations for adding some greens.
-Hornworms
-Phoenix Worms
-Dubai
-Gut loaded crickets
-Silkworms
-Mealworms

Hi, what do you mean by adding greens? Panthers are insectivores stick to a insect based diet. Though I have seen some bite a leaf it's not a big part of their diet. As far as I know at least.

Gotcha I thought I heard adding adding some small amount of leaf base diet could be beneficial but I will just stick to the bugs . Do you have an opinion on sex of this Cham?

Looks male to me.

An opinion? It's looking similar to my nosy be who I'm still in the fence about but I am leaning more towards female.

Here is a pic of my little guy back in December. He's a male. Hope this helps!
