Help with sexing baby panther please :)

[NewChamMom2020]

Hello there - I hope all is splendid!

My friend just got a new baby panther chameleon about 3.5 months old. Could you please help sex this baby?

Appreciate your help in advance!

No expert, but I believe it is a little boy. I am sure others will chime in as well.

I also don't think it is 3.5 months. It seems quite small for that age.

This was my guy Bruce @ 3 months. He was a large 3 month old though.

Oh wow! Bruce looks so handsome at 3 months!

Hmm the breeder said this baby was 3.5mo but we're not really sure. My friend's little babe currently only weighs 3 grams.

I got my dude at 6 months so have no experience with babies.

Perhaps a better representation is my other guy Chuck. Like I said Bruce was quite large @ 3 months. This was Chuck at about 3 months.

usually circles in the bars indicates female....looks like a bump in the tail base though..hard for me to tell... I would say female....but I've been wrong in the past.....

Hi Chamfam -- Happy Saturday!

We have new pictures of this little one. Could you let us know if you think male or female?

Thanks again!

Great pictures! He/she is adorable! I don’t know if it’s a boy or girl. Let me tag in some other people to help.

looks female to me... but I am not an expert with panthers. Her eye turrets look odd though. Like there is swelling to them... Where did you get baby from?

Thanks @salty dog and @Beman !

My friend got this little one from a new breeder in LA. Thanks for calling out the eyes, @Beman! We'll get this baby checked at the vet as soon as the pet insurance goes through.

Appreciate you tagging in a few more experts, @Lindasjackson!

@kinyonga and @MissSkittles -- could we also get your eyes on this little babe too to confirm if male or female?

I vote female

I am usually horrible at sexing panthers and in this case, haven’t a clue. In a couple of pics I think I see a hemipenal bump, but then not in the others. I defer to what those who are better at this think.
