Please say its a male!!!

[Flamegurl]

Was told this little 3-4 month old panther was a male. I asked if they were sure and they said they were very sure. After doing more research, i am not finding any male parts!! Help! These are the best pictures i could take. He does not like me much yet. Thank you for looking!

More pictures please. Try to get a close up of the tail. Females are very pretty too! Even if he/she is not a male, females are great too! Happy Chameleon Keeping!!!

Got better pics!! What do you think?

Sorry to say, but looks female to me due to the muted color and the base of the tail is straight.

Here is my male around the same age.

Your male looks way older than 4 months!

The tail base looks like a female to me.

I am not prepared for female

I would ask to exchange it for a male. Where did you get it??

DFW Reptarium. I will be talking with them tomorrow.

I never heard of them. Sometimes it is hard to sex certain ones, but if they are experienced enough in Panther breeding, they should not really make mistakes.

Looks male to me.

Looks male to me.

How so? Everyone else say female due to the tail base being straight...

I see a bulge at the base of the tail, and looks like some colors are starting to come out. Maybe a better pic with the tail straight out and him not at an angle, but I still say male.

Looks like a male.

Honestly, it is very hard to tell, because sometimes some males are slower, and you don't judge what sex just by color. I saw a male with just beige colors like yours, but it was just a late bloomer.

What are you not prepared for? It is very hard to tell, because some pictures show a small bulge, and some don't. I'm not a 100% sure of this, but when they are born, it is also hard to tell because they don't have their hemipenal bulges yet, just a space for them to grow in to. I think it could be a female or a male, and you should keep him/her. Sure there are reproductive issues, but if you know what to do, then you should be able to handle it. Happy Chameleon Keeping!!! Happy Holidays!!!

I still say female and also the rostral in basically non present which would also suggest a female. JMO

He is just a baby and probably a late bloomer. It will appear once he gets older. My boy looked the exact same when he was that age.

I hate sexing panthers.

First week its easy, hell the first out of the egg is the easiest

2 months old; FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU


Im going female due to no nose shovel and straight tail. But again its really hard to tell at that age. This is why a lot of breeders just sex them at birth and then separate in to girls and boys tanks.
