I was hoping to see more coloration on her sides to guide me but it’s just too young to tell for sure.

This is a female veiled chameleon, the crest or the veil is smaller and closer to the body unlike male who have tall ones that grow upwards, and there aren’t any bumps on the back legs indicating a male...In my opinion it’s a girl, also welcome to the site! Good luck on ur cham.....

No, tarsal spurs do not guarantee this is a male.
That is only one way of identifying sex in veilds. With one this young you you have to take all the other factors into consideration as well.
@Bdhughes290927 if you want to know for sure post those pictures I asked for.

I agree with Brody Even the females have spurs. I’m not super experienced with sexing, but from seeing multiple threads of female and male veiled chameleon threads asking on sex of their chameleon on here over the months I’m going to go out and say i think female. At that age if it was a male I think the tarsal spurs would be protruding more and the casque does look female looking. It’s hard to tell by the markings and the coloring in the picture though. This is just my guess I’m not 100% sure

I’ll say it again.
The presence of tarsal spurs do not guarantee a male.
Females have them too.
You are only looking at one part of a big picture.
