No, I do have the time. I'm saying that i'm moving in 3 months. I'm not going to have time to get one then. I have plenty of time to take care of one. I just can't get one in 3 months.

Why can't you get a chameleon after you move? Seems unnecessary and honestly a little bit cruel to get such a young chameleon only to put it through the stress of moving so soon while it will still be settling in.
Also, you can have a chameleon shipped to your door. I don't understand what time commitment you're talking about? You don't have to go out of your way at all if you don't want to.

To answer your question, you want to look for a hemipenal bulge. Try to select one with a fatter base of the tail. It may be hard to spot on a hatchling but compare afew and select one with the widest tail base.

Ok,, i'm really sorry for the trouble.
No trouble, just do what’s best for the Cham otherwise you may create your own troubles.

I really think it's a mistake to get a juvenile/hatching chameleon knowing that you are going to move in 3 months. They suffer alot of stress from stuff like that.
Picking up a chameleon from a breeder and placing it in a cage takes no time at all. The 3 mists a day , morning feeds, buying more feeders and cage maintenance take all the time.
If you know you are going to be that busy, then you know that you are not going to have enough time to care for a juvenile chameleon.
Which is quite frankly the whole purpose of owning a pet. To care for it.

That's true, I understand. I just can't really find local breeders.

100% doesn't need to be a local breeder. I live on the west coast of Canada, and my translucent veiled is from a breeder on the east coast. Find a reputable breeder, and have them ship. Reptile Express ships overnight, and it's a completely painless process.
Get set up at your new place, and have a juvenile shipped. Getting a young cham and then moving it in a few months isn't doing either of you any favors.

After some thinking. I think i'm going to wait and get a jackson's shipped! The breeder I have been seeing is a little sketchy. Also a jackson's is my dream cham! So thank y'all so much for the help! I'm sorry for troubling y'all!
