Can you all help me identify my chameleon. I am beginning to feel its a female.

From the first pic, I would say you have a female there. It is too hard to tell from the other two.

I agree. You have a female.

Thanks you all

From the first pic, I'd say male. That's a thick tail base considering the position of the tail. If it were female would it not be thinner? That's a fairly prominent white lateral stripe too, although I'm not sure if that is definitely an indicator of sex.

I agree, but the tail is not in a straight line from the vent. There is that little indent that goes up. That is how I judged it for femal. I have seen lateral lines on young females also on here. I still say female, but of course this is jmo

I can get a photo of him/her with the tail in a straight postion if that would make the identification easier.

I hope these will help and sorry for the delayed response.

For sure female.

Do females have a hemipenal bulge? I still say male.

lol I don't think it is a bulge. I think it looks like that because of that little indentation. I still am going with female. There is absolutely no rostral either. I do see what you mean though Trace. he/she??? lol

Agreed, I am not going on bulge either. Going by the noticeable indentation at the base of the tail. A males tail would not have this.

I guess only time will tell!!! Right??
