Male or female?

[m1les]

I just got a baby panther chameleon and I’m not sure what gender it is. I think it’s a girl but I’m not an expert. The stuff on them is moss from the package they came in.

Need a better picture - what you're looking for is a bulge in the base of the tail.

They’re in a bad position atm.... give me 5

Apparently it was born early March but I’m not sure. Watched some videos of 5-6 month old chams and this one looks only a few months.

no way he's 6 months my cham had almost all adult colors at 6 months. I would say probably 2 months old

Not sure if this is what happened but I’m kind of contemplating it. They had a batch of chameleons that sold out and I called and asked if they had any coming in and they said they would this week. They also said that they had one from the last clutch that hadn’t been sold. I’m thinking that maybe I got given a baby that was going up for sale this week on accident, but I don’t know. This is the picture it was listed with. When it arrived it was more this color but I have only seen it darker colors or light grey. I don’t know I could be stupid and the chameleon could just be a really slow grower. Either way I haven’t noticed anything wrong about her, it’s eaten and drunken plenty in the 24 hours of my care.

I was also told that she was most likely female but I came on here to ask more experienced keepers. I asked the breeder about her color a few hours after she arrived and he told me she just changes it a lot for temp mood etc which I obviously knew.

I can get more pictures if you would like.. I don’t want shadows throwing you off or something.

 

[m1les]

He also sent me this picture when I requested some more. Haven’t really see the whites yet either. (Sorry for blowing up your notifications)

 

[m1les]

Got a lot more pictures if anyone else wants to guess.

 

[DeShawni Green]

Still think male, and still not 100% sure

hey @salty dog mind taking a look at this?

This baby looks very little. I would guess she is maybe 3 months old. Definitely doesn’t look 5-6 months. Looks female to me
