Male or female?

Male or female. I believe about two months old? Sambava Panther.

Female

Yeah female..

Female to me. The indent after the vent is more evident. Take a look at this. http://www.muchadoaboutchameleons.com/2013/04/male-or-female-how-to-sex-baby-panther.html

And I suggest getting a fecal run to ensure there are no parasite issues.

It looks infected ?

LLL Reptiles usually sell animals in bad shape health-wise. A wellness check with an exotics vet very experienced with chameleons is always recommended, no matter who you buy from. Make sure to take a fresh fecal with you and to drop off at least 2 more afterwards to make sure no parasites were missed. An x-ray would be a good idea, too. If your cham is big enough to do so safely, and the vet is comfortable with it, and recommends it, you can do bloodwork as well

Also agree with female, in my humble opinion. Sorry about the customer service response you received from the company! How ambiguous.

Btw, excellent photos you took to show all the different parameters

Ugh.......bought a male. I spent $800+ on everything just for them to sell me something I didn’t want.

This happens more often than one would think. It can be rather difficult to sex them accurately when they’re younger.

At this point they more than likely won’t take her back and will probably offer you a discount on a male in the future.

Sorry. This happens rather frequently. However, she is absolutely adorable! Lady panthers can be just as beautiful as the males, just in a different way.

You could ask for a refund or exchange, but I have no idea if they’ll do either. It never hurts to ask if you’re really set on a male, though females are just as spectacular in their own right. Females do require more specific care for egg-laying health, though, and are less brightly colored

I can completely understand your frustrations and you have a right to be upset!! However, females are absolutely enchanting and endearing. Hopefully you will enjoy her!

It is LLL reptiles. They are not exactly known to be a great place to buy chameleons from... At this point I would get the fecal done to ensure baby does not have parasites.

I already tried....
