New baby veiled!! Girl or boy?

[Molly_AD]

I recently got 2 baby veiled chameleons! This is my first time owning chameleons but I have been looking forward to having them for ages. I have owned other reptiles in the past and currently have a basilisk lizard as well. I did avid research before purchasing my chameleons and am excited to learn from these fascinating creatures. I believe I have 2 girls here but I'm having trouble deciding the sex of one of them. All of the photos are of the same chameleon as I am almost certain the other one is a girl. Can anyone tell me the gender?

hmm... it looks to me like a male, his veils are growing large for his age and his feet look like they have spurs

Ok thanks! This one is much larger than the other one I have for sure.

do you know the others gender?

Im pretty sure it's a female. She is much smaller and definitely has no spurs.

yea. do you plan on breading? amd make sure your female has a laying bin for fertile/unfertile eggs

I hadn't planned on breeding because this is my first time owning chameleons, but that might change as I get to know more about what breeding would entail. And ok thanks

Um, I'm pretty sure that's a female from the original post.
Several things:

• small casque
• no bands of color (more of speckles on a green background)
• small spurs (males are MUCH bigger)
• small base of the tail (no hemipenes) (is that how you spell that?)

I may be wrong. Just saying. I suggest you get the experts: @jajeanpierre @Extensionofgreen @Remkon
These guys know.

no spurs, clearly a female

That's a female and you'll have to set up a laybin once they reach about 4 months old

Yes but no one mentioned that they would need it by 4 months old. I added to the conversation. Thanks

Ok thanks for giving me another opinion One of my chameleons has an appointment at the vet Monday for a suspected eye infection and I plan on bringing them both to hopefully find out the genders for sure.

Alright! now I can finally call her by a proper name

 

[ChameleonClem]

I definitely think its a female too.
