hello new panther chameleon :)

[robchameleon]

halluuu everyone.. am i a boy?

I can't be sure but I would bet about 50 dollars that you have a female. There isn't any signs to show it's a male from that picture. Very cute little girl though or boy(doubt it)?

 

[mindowzzz]

it very well can be a boy. more pics needed in lighter skin color.

 

[robchameleon]

thanks.im hoping its a he.. we were actually looking at the base of the tail.. straight and fat

 

[carol5208]

I think you have a boy there. The tailbase seems like it is straight across from the vent and not indented like the females. I am not sure what the other member means by posting lighter pictures. That is not going to change the shape of the tail area and that is the only way to tell at this young of an age.

 

[carol5208]

thanks.im hoping its a he.. we were actually looking at the base of the tail.. and if you zoom it theres a little bulge.. after the vent

There is no bulge at that age.

here's another pic in lighter color..

oops sori Maam Carol.. i do hope it's a boy.. thanks for the information

Honestly, coloring at this age means nothing. Here is a thread for you to check out on sexing baby panthers.

No reason to be sorry! Tail base is the only way to sex them when they are so little. Where did you get this little one from? Reputable breeders do not usually sell them so small.

 

[robchameleon]

wow. thanks for the link Maam Carol.. its very helpful..il review the pictures i have taken..

 

[robchameleon]

by the looks of it, with the help of your link Maam Carol.. i think i got a "he" thank you

 

[robchameleon]

Maam Carol, yah, he's about 5 weeks old.. i understand he's too young but we only have 1 breeder of panther chameleon here in our country... so i cant miss the opportunity of buying it.. no worries i give him good care

Great so I am out 50 dollars to myself All of the male chameleons that I've seen, even the babies, have had the little tiny tarsal spurs. Perhaps I'm seeing older juvenile chameleons and not ones that are so young. Well I learn something every day. Now I'm going to read about this other method for sexing.

 

[robchameleon]

Sir alan, i believe sexing thru tarsal spurs are applicable for veiled and other chameleons only, what i have is a little panther so like what Maam carol did, she based the sex thru the base of the tail.. you can send your 50$ thru paypal kidding!

 

[Alan12013]

Ok yes I was confused, that explains a lot. Well congratulations on the male! What are you naming him?
