Is this a male or a female

[Bubblestheousaletchameleo]

Hi so I bought a panther chameleon a few days ago they say it’s a male but I kinda think it’s a female and I idk what the bulge for the males looks like so can anyone tell me what sex is my chameleon

Also the Chameleon is 1 month old

Do you know how old it is?

Do you know how old it is?

It’s 5 inches long and we think it’s about 3 months old

 

[ERKleRose]

Also the Chameleon is 1 month old

He/she looks older. Where did you buy him/her from? Also, as a heads up and for future reference, a reptutable panther breeder wouldn’t sell a panther cham until it was at least 3-4 months old.

Okay, you’ll want to find a reputable and experienced chameleon vet to take it to, along with bringing a fresh fecal sample with you and it to the appointment, as well as taking x-rays when there, too. LLL is known for selling unhealthy chameleons, sadly. After the appointment, you’ll want to drop off at least 2 more fresh fecal samples to the vet to make sure no parasites are missed

One more thing, if you want us to help make sure your husbandry is 100% accurate, we can check it if you’d be willing to fill out this form. Make sure to fill it out in as much detail detail as possible, including pics of its entire enclosure and lights:

So one more thing I still don’t know if it’s a male or female

Yeah, this one’s a little challenging to me, so I’d rather wait and someone else give you an accurate answer than me guessing. Here’s a link if you want to try to do it yourself while you wait:

I will say I am leaning towards female, though

Ok thank you

I am leaning towards female based on the tail base.... But when they are that young it is much harder to tell here this link may help you http://www.muchadoaboutchameleons.com/2013/04/male-or-female-how-to-sex-baby-panther.html


I second what @ERKleRose said about getting the fecal and exam done. LLL does not have the best rep for healthy chams honestly, and they sometimes send the incorrect gender.

 

[PeachTreeChameleons]

Female 1000% sure

 

[Bubblestheousaletchameleo]

Female 1000% sure
