No, all chameleons have 3 toes on one side and 2 on the other, and no tarsal spurs means HE is a SHE

Looks like someone needs to do a little bit more reading....things like this are good to know if you are going to start breeding for profit

I was told by the girl at the reptile store that male veileds have spurs and female veileds don't, and that panthers don't have them at all. Any accuracy to this?

She is correct.....just needed to add that the spurs are on the back legs of the male Veileds.

 

[Brad Ramsey]

That is correct.

My He is a SHEEE!!!! HELP

Well the main difference is that females will lay unfertilised eggs on her normal cycle, so you will need to keep an eye on her for when she becomes gravid and wants to lay. Get hold of a bucket and some coconut rusk/play sand so you have it on hand just in case.

I use damp play sand. I don't like to complicate things with items I know nothing about. I know there are folks that use the above, some use a mixture of sand/dirt. But as long as they can dig a safe tunnel that won't collapse in on them it is good.

Yes; she'll say one thing but mean another and never fall for her tricks like 'do these vines make my behind look fat?'

The Spurs are on the male veileds - no spurs means likely a female veiled (there are occasionally females with small bumps that may suggest it is a male when it is not)
pictures of what the spur on the hind foot of the male looks like can be found in this thread:

Read up on how to deal with an egg laying female.

 

[kinyonga]

I recommend that you provide a place in the cage for her to dig to let you know if she needs to lay eggs so you won't miss the sometimes subtle indications.

I'm Still Unsure...

This is a male-see the tarsal spurs...

This is a 4 month old male-see the stripes...

If there are no spurs and no obvious stripes-you have a little female.

Im a he

I was referring to the post above mine about the girl in the reptile store.

As far as you....we need to see the spurs on the back of your legs to confirm this

here is a good pic of spurs. they can be small somtimes, in my case there is no question. ive been told you can also tell by bump right behind anus.
