My first Panthers, sexed right?

[chameleonneeds]

Hi all I went and picked up my first pardalis pair yesterday.
They are ambanja.
They are looking very nice, they jump like crazy so I hardly handle them!
They are around 2-3 months old.

Here are the pics

Female

And male

Do you guys agree they are male and female.
Because you can see the female is reddish orange with circles, and the male is blue/grey with black bars and blue/green blushed cheeks and you can see the male has a thicker base of the tail than the female does.


Let me know what you all think

Regards
Tyrone

I have only recently learned how to sex baby panthers but I have a 3 month old pair so maybe I can help. From the first pic of the female my guess would be male, but from the second pic you can clearly see that she is a she. The second cham is a male.

First two photos are fem and the last 3 are male! Congrats on the new additions. Keep us updated on their progress!

I'd agree with the female photos, but the 3rd 4th and 5th photos are inconclusive to my eye. I would suggest very high probability male for pix 3, 4 and 5, but I'd reserve concrete judgment until the male shows more colour in the turrets and the package becoming more defined. Those photos might be a bit deceiving.

Still , looks good so far... congrats on a beauty pair of panthers.

looks like you got a male and female. Congrats

The one you think is female looks female to me. The other one - I cant tell. But I suck at sexing when they are that young.

 

[heloderm]

Sure looks like a pair to me, congrats!

 

[jeffro]

Yup looks like you got it right to me congrats

 

[chameleonneeds]

Thanks all!
Will definetely keep you updated

A question: Are they suppose to be shy? Mine are quite shy and I have not ever seen them eat nor drink during the 4 days I have had them.
I left like 20 crickets in their feeding tub and there is maybe 5 missing.

What I keep them in is a plastic opaque tub with a fake leaves in it.
They are housed together in this tub, they have a feeding tub in the tub aswell so I can see if they are eating or not.
I mist them 2-3 times a day.

Can anyone help me out?

Sometimes it can take up to a week for them to settle in to their new home, sometimes longer. As long as your providing them what they need to thrive, they'll be fine. Dont let the lack of food intake scare you just yet.

Thanks man

Well after I posted that I took them outside and sprayed water into the air above the tub so the water goes down on them like rain, if I spray their tub directly they freak out, run around and fall over.
And then I saw that both of them were drinking And I also put the crickets into their tub and out of the feeding tub and I noticed some were missing so I put in a few more, so maybe they are starting to adjust.

Hi
I don't want to spoil the joy, but I'm convinced about the male but not about the female. Do you have more pictures of her? I need to say for me it's 4 years ago I breeded pardalis so it could be a lack in my judgement.

Sorry which one are you convinced is what? lol
I can get more pictures yes.
The male had his first shed in my care yesterday and his colours are brighter, has a green face, green legs, a bit of yellow and blue around the neck, with no doubt he is a HE.
And Im convinced the she is a SHE.
Might pick up another female ambanja in 2 weeks! Love them
