Gender

[Anthony416]

I was wondering if y’all can give me your opinion on the gender of my chameleon
I found out about the bulge on the tail after my purchase
I was hoping for it to be a male as I already have a female
I bought this new chameleon at a reptile expo and the dude said that it was too hard to tell at that age, but his opinion was that it was a male after looking at both (two chameleons left in the tank)

please let me know what you guys think

This is the female I have, but again this purchase was also after knowing about the bulge, she looks like she is getting more colour especially on the face. Now I’m just questioning both of them

Cham in the first set of pictures is male and cham in the second is female. How old is the male?

Yeah I’m not sure, it was just advertised as baby panther chameleon
I’ve had him for a little over a week now.

Thank you for your help

Agree^

The second looks female, the first is hard to tell could be either.. a female has distinctive small circles in the bars and a smaller head Crest, it does not protrude out over mouth like male, yours is hard to tell it's so small

Looks like a piece of some sort of fresh green. Isn’t is unusual for panthers to eat anything other than bugs though?

How much longer do you think until I can tell? Or post a photo again?
