Hello I'm a newbie. I just got my panther from a breeder last week. He told me he sold me a male but I'm unsure. He's four months old and doesnt have much color. Looks like he may have some red coming in now. Could someone please help me and tell me if he's for sure a he?

The topic comes up all the time so I figured it was about time to have a thread that can be linked to. Panthers can be easily sexed fresh out of the egg based on the taper of the tail base. Trying to guess sex based on color can work but is not as reliable. In my experience, some females' tails will become thicker around 2 to maybe 4 months old and this method becomes a little less easy to compare but when they're small it is very accurate.

Baby males are not sexually mature and thus do not have a hemipenal bulge. They do, however, have a space for the hemipenes to develop into. When viewed from the side, with the tail held straight back, the profile from the tail across the vent to the belly is almost a straight line in males. Here are pics of two males:

1 hour old:

1 week old:

The tail base of females has the same shape in babies as adults. It is more thin which makes the profile seem like there's an indention just before the vent.

Hello! We have a brand new panther hatchling. It may be way too early to tell but was hoping to take a crack at identifying the sex of this little guy. I have my guesses but would love outside opinions!

Need some help quickly hopefully. The cham reaching is a baby we are picking up. Told it's a male looking for some help in deciding the sex. He/she is 57 days old.

I don't know. Seems like a male to me. Only time will tell. I wouldn't worry about the size, some grow faster than others. It doesn't necessarily mean that there is anything wrong.
 
I'm not concerned with the size all the chams were extremely healthy. One more pictures.
