Please tell me if this is a male or female!

So I have a chameleon, I am pretty sure is a male. But going back and forth with now, because my husband called saying he/she is digging in the dirt....

Im new at this chameleon owning but from what I know is that in order to sex a chameleon you can tell by the two back legs, the male veiled have an extra support on their two back legs like an extra nail for when they are mating and females don’t, if you could provide a picture of it’s two back legs that would be better

Without a doubt male, the coloration alone is a big give away

You can also see the spur in the picture where he is on your hand and facing the camera

 

[David Esparza]

same thing I was thinking and also in the second picture on the legs you can see a little nub so I’m pretty sure it’s a male

Absolutely agree with @#Chams4life that is a boy.

im sorry this is off topic but how can I post a question and pictures on this? I just got registered today!!

He is digging because he wants out. Males need a large cage because they like to roam. From the pictures your cage looks too little for a male his age. What is the size of his cage? It should be a large or extra large screen enclosure. It also looks like he may need more hiding spaces.

Can you please post a picture of his full enclosure? If he's digging, he's probably not happy about something

If the cage it too hot sometimes they will dig in an attempt to go lower and get away from the heat. What are your cage temperatures like now that it is summer?
