How to distinguish the gender of Rainbow Jackson and Veiled Chameleon?

[Motherlode Chameleon]

Thanks for you opinion
But they both can have a small lump at the base of their tail also?
I have circled it in red.

I am just making an attempt to show you more perspective of what/how a female Trioceros jacksonii jacksonii looks.

Best Regards

Why does it say that veils have slightly nipped tails. Did a possum or cat get them from outside cage?

Yes, those are boys.
Don't do business with companies that have under or back in their names.

I recently purchased a Rainbow Jackson Pair and Veiled Chameleon male from the Underground Reptile Online Shop.
But I have problems with their gender.

First I bought a Rainbow Jackson pair, but I think that I got two males.
I know that Rainbow Jackson's females also have horns, but I know it has a very short.
But they're perfectly the same color, and both have pretty long, straight horns.
The large chameleon what they said to be male is 9 inches long, and the length of the horn is 3/4 inches.

what they said to be female, are as small as 7 inches long and have horns about 1/2 inch.

The reason I think they are all males, they both have a small lump at the base of their tail.

And also, i bought the male Veiled Chameleon either.
But.. it looks like female to me.

they said it is male.
but i can't find a any bumps on the backs of his(?) hind legs.
funniest thing is they said "There was no sex chosen for the 12+ inch veiled"

Regardless of whether there is a choice or not, it is already marked as male there with photos too.
it's a all about the male.

I don't know what's going on right now.
The chameleons arrived with signs of severe dehydration with sunken in eyes.
They haven't been drinking water properly for at least a week.

I need your advice, please help.
Are they really a pair and males?

Tell me anytime if you need more photos

We ordered a male oustalets from them March 7th. He showed up with mouth rot, coccidia worms, dehydrated, and possible mbd and kindey failure. Spent 100s at the vet for him to die after 1 month. They are a shitty company. The turtle they sent had shell rot, and lost limb control and died with in a month.

Our new 6 month old male we got from our local pet store(imperial reptiles and exotics florida Ocoee location not Miami). He is a Rainbow jackson. His colors weren't as nice as his brother. But he climbed out to us so he came home.

His colors aren't as nice as his brothers because he is a sister. That is a female. I hope they weren't kept together or she will be pregnant.

They were in the same inclosure. They came into the store around 2 months old, they told me they were 6 almost 7 months old. They had them in the same set up the whole time. This one wae bought was a little pudgy compared to the other one, colors were not as vibrant. Does she need something special to lay in ? Or special requirements ? We don't have a vet appointment set up for another week and a half. I might go back today and grab him too. They were sunning nose to nose when we showed up. They seemed to really get along well.

The stress of housing them together long term is very bad for both of them. She will likely be having babies in the next few months. You will need to prepare. They don't lay eggs but rather have live birth.
