Male or Female

[xxcham]

Hi! (i’m gonna refer to my chameleon as it because i don’t know if it’s a he or she even though i don’t wanna refer to my cham as it) so the place i got it from said that it was a male but i just want to be sure because if the cham i have is a female i don’t wanna have it be egg bound (even though its young, 2 months). i’m gonna try and get a picture of the back of its feet but it might take me a moment or two ? here are some pics i have in the mean time

Try to get some photos of the hind feet, the current ones make it hard to assume it’s gender

ehhhhhhhhhh I am not so willing to jump on the male train. I am leaning toward female.

view from the back can be misleading with some females.. We say male because there is a wee nub but a view from the side is almost always accurate. See if you can get a side view like below in my pic.

Males are going to have a pronounced tarsal spur. Here is my newest boy maybe 3 months old. almost 3 inch body length. You can see the difference. very pronounced tarsal spur.

In case you want to learn more ways than just tarsal spurs:

Sureee use Beman's tarsal pic but no photo credit Beman said he is offended.

AHHHHH how did I miss that! I tried to add everyone's names to their pics. I'm the worst. Please offer Beman an extra treat bug on my behalf as a peace offering.

Op says that cham is only 2 months old. I stand by male.

lol this is the beauty of it being a forum and having many members giving feedback. It may be a Male but with those pics I am not all that convinced.

Oh I'm not 100% sure. I can only go with what I see. So if I had to bet I'd say male.

the cham is asleep now and didn’t want to come out today but im going to try and get some more pics tomorrow.

 

[NashansCamos]

If the Cham was an adult and had the same spur size it could be a female. But at that age I see some pretty big spurs

 

[NashansCamos]

still going with male
