. Check and see if you see the same small spur on both feet. If it's just one your probably dealing with a little girl. You could have a drag queen chameleon. There out there you know.

my girl had the same thing, but on both her feet. if it looks like there is possibly a spur from all angles, and you don't have to try to look for it then i agree, definitely a male

tarsal spurs are not always pointy. when they are young like the OPs is, the spur can look like a tiny pimple.
The Op posted pics in another thread that shows the spurs alot better.
Female feet are smooth, they do not have anything on the back foot that can look close to a spur. and if they do, then they are more than likely a tranny cham.

Tranny cham hahaha that made me laugh now i have an image of a chameleon all dressed up, ya know with the whole works. Hehe oh that amused me!

It's a girl. I'm 99% sure now after the new photos

After the new photos. I retract my former statement. Female.
Which means, you get to deal with the lovely world of egg laying! lol
GO find Jannb's blog on egg laying and read up. females can lay eggs as early as 6 months old. even when they have not been mated.

First. breathe. lol.
Visit Jannb's profile, she has two blogs, one for new keepers, and that has info in it for females.
the second, is on egg laying.
essentially, lower temps, less food= smaller (non existent- though this is hard) clutches of eggs.
a laying bin filled with moist play sand for her to lay eggs in when shes ready.
people usually keep the bin in the cage with their girls at all times.
Eggs arent as hard to deal with as it seems.
Just read Jann's blogs and then if you have more questions post them on here.
