How To Sex Baby Panthers

I'm going to be purchasing this chameleon tomorrow, he sent me pictures of the chameleon. I think it's a male but I just want to be sure before I buy it.

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.

What happen to the pictures?

You need to provide a side view of your chameleon to sex it. But I see greenish on it so it could be picking up some colors to it.

This is an old post and you probably already know but it is a female. She is old enough to show female patterns and coloration. Her tail base is also very thin, anus area bulges out compared to the tail base.
 
Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a panther chameleons and am hoping to purchase one from a great little local shop near me. They have a juvenile Nosy Be, which is already showing some pretty great blues for its age. I've attached a couple of (not great, but hopefully not the worst) photos and was hoping you guys could help me out trying to sex the little bugger! Whadya think? Thanks in advance :)

i believe female but I'm I'm new to this, the kent vent technique that I've been exposed to, should show some sort of advancement from the vent though the tail but there is a very clear indent and i don't see the hemi penal bulge
