Hi and welcome. 
I’m going to say that you do have a male.
Even though he is young, I do notice a little bit of warping of his casque. What kind of uvb light and what supplements are you using?

Using linear reptisun 5.0. I was planning on switching to the linear 6% Arcadia though
Supplements - Repti-cal Calcium without D3 everyday when I’m not using daily vitamin or the calcium with D3.
Fluckers calcium with D3 - every other week
Reptivite multivitamin - every other week
When you say warping of his casque, what exactly do you mean?
Thank you btw!

See how it has a couple of spots that it appears to divot in? Where did you get him from?

Your uvb and supplements are correct btw.

Although very subtle, I noticed it and wanted to make sure you’ve got correct uvb and supplements. He is a little cutie.

You know I was looking at the first photo when I brought him home and I think he may have always had that.
I got him from petsmart, which I now know is a big no no.
And thanks for the confirmation on supplements!

LOL thanks ! He’s super funny and sometimes a brat but I understand. Haha
This was him shedding as soon as he got here, just contemplating life lol

As he grows his casque will probably fill out and he’ll be a big beauty.

Thank you!
Just want to clarify which reptivite you have. Is it the with D3 or without D3 version? Looks male to me. Be very cautious about using the moss in the enclosure they will eat plants and this is an impaction risk.
This is a great website with accurate information as well. https://chameleonacademy.com/

I actually took all the moss out once I found this website lol
He’s getting upgrades more to his enclosure this weekend actually!
(buying a mist king for the little guy)I was pretty naive going into this cause I got most of my info from Petsmart. But I’ve watched a bunch of YT vids from Neptune the Chameleon, Chameleon Academy, and Reptilian Garden and made a bunch of changes already.
And I don’t think there’s D3 in here. Plz see pics below. & my apologies it’s Herptivite as the brand.
Yeah herptivite does not have D3... Just note it also does not have vitamin A only beta carotene. Vitamin A is needed for eye health. If you decide to switch your multivitamin you can get reptivite without d3. If you get the D3 version then you would drop the calcium with D3 and just use the reptivite with D3 2 times a month every other week. Then calcium without D3 at all other feedings.I actually took all the moss out once I found this website lol
