oh okay
You’ll need to fill this out... https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/
There are very knowledgeable people here and they can help you, but the fact that you don’t know how to tell if this animal is a male or female means you have not done your homework. I am not judging but these are not easy animals to care for and have unique requirements. Reading up will help answers a lot of your concerns.

Spurs on the hind legs. If present, male. If absent, female.

I know how to take care of chameleons. when i went to the pet store to pick him out i was for sure he was a boy. later that week i went to get him and it appeared to be the same exact chameleon, sorry. i don’t mean to sound mean but i have researched for years and i’ve just never came across on why he wouldn’t be eating.

Your care sheet says otherwise. If you could finish filling it out that would be helpful.

Female chameleon will often slow down or stop eating when they are getting close to laying eggs. She doesn’t look Gravid in the pics but that doesn’t me she isn’t. They don’t always show Gravid colours. You should setup a laying bin ASAP
