New Baby Panther

[dino1920]

Just got this 2 month old Panther chameleon just wondering if it's a male or female. Any help would help thanks.

its very easy, panther males express bright colors while females stay , (mostly a solid color), males have a variety of colors depending on the panther you have. It looks like you have a ambolie. Males will also have a bump behind the private part/ the start of the tail.

Males do have a bulge after their vent(where they poop), but at 2 months it has not developed yet. It is hard to tell the locale(Ambilobe, Ambanja, etc) at this young age. There is no way to tell if you have an Ambilobe at this age. Unless you know the breeder and lineage, there is no way to tell yet. You will have to wait for the colors and patterns to develop which will take many months. Females can possess patterns and circles and some of them are actually quite colorful, so I do not agree with the info you were given above. Females have a thin tail base and the males have a thicker base after the vent area. That being said.... I think you may have a male, but honestly I am on the fence with this one! Also females will have a very short rostral(the thing that protrudes on the end of their nose) when they mature, and the males will stick out more. Sometimes it is just a waiting game. Sometimes it is very obvious and other times not. If it turns out you have a female, and you don't know the breeder, you will never know what locale you have. Females all kinda look the same. Most are a peachy or orangish color when they become adults. They cannot be distiguished by the coloring like the males can.

I agree with Carol, he looks male to me. I also agree that unless you have seen the parents there is no way to guess what locale he may be at this age, and maybe you never will be able to. I have sibling male ambilobes from the same clutch that don't look the least bit related.
