i would guess that testosterone and estrongen come to play.
i have yet to encounter males with unsually low testosterone, usually a nice territory sunshine and feeders are all a cham needs to fit the bill of a male mater.
I have had no experience with males that do not show interest in females, so I wouldn't know either, because i've heard of some that for whatever reason won't mate whether it be bad care or bad genes.
In my short span of raising 20 or so veileds from baby to mature, i have come across many masculine females, but not too many feminine males, some males were not as masculine as others, but none cross the barrier of girlyman
to take it further i would say this is probably so through natural selection and breeding, a larger stronger mate in the wild is more suited ( a female with high estrogen and testosterone) than one with estrogen and low testosterone.
same thing in humans, humans have an instinct when picking out mates to subconciously analynze microexpressions and features.
many men may not want to admit it, but male humans with high testosterone, like myself, tend to seek mates that are taller and more fit. for example you would want a female with a strong chin bone rather than one with no chin or 5 chins....
i would argue the same thing in veileds, there are a lot of these manly females with tiny spurs because breeding has favored that due to protection of the clutch, a manly female can both shelter her clutch while developing and fight to protect them much better than a less masculine female. also only the most elite males can mate with these super females because they are so badass
and i would continue to argue the reason there are less girlmen chams is because natural selection in the wild has rooted most of those poor genes out, and say for some instance there are a few week ones in every clutch, they are the ones in the wild who will die off and if they don't have trouble finding a mate anyway, because most of the masculine females will fight them off in hope of mating with a super male, and most less masculine females will already have been killed or impregnated by a more dominant male, which ultimately keeps the girlyman population to a low
as for human girly men, i wish i could find a way to lower their population
Very nice chameleons Joe! They definitely look happy, healthy, and well cared for. And as far as cuervo goes, I vote female as well. CUERVINA!!!
