Sexing my 8month old panther..

[JaysonDuque83]

I got this chameleon at a pet store, without doing much research. I know i know, I should of done that first. The guy at the store, told me this was a female, so I took his word. Then just recently, i was reading on someone's post about sexing their cham, and then i started to notice the whole bulge thing. So now, I'm thinking the guy was wrong. I just want a second opinion to be sure. Thanks a lot..

what do you mean by bulge thing? The stomach or something else? What kind of colors is it showing? usually you can tell a female and male by their colors. The females are usually kinda peachy, orangy color and the males have the reds, blues, greens etc.

[carol5208]

yes, I forgot! Pictures would be extremely helpful!!!

 

[JaysonDuque83]

[shanksfaml]

good looking guy

i figured...

 

[carol5208]

it looks like a boy to me!!

 

[JaysonDuque83]

now can anyone tell me what type of panther he is?

 

[PedroANDAshley]

Im reallyyyy bad at picking out locales
but Ill guess sambava? Just cuz of the red and green
either that or hes mixed?

Some one please clarify

 

[carol5208]

looks like an Ambilobe. Others can chime in here but thats what I think.

He's definately a male. About the locality, i am not a pro at doing it, but i'm having a hard time even determining what coast he is from, because i can not clearly see the U or Y shape in his red vertical bars. So if you have any other pictures, it would be helpful!

EDIT: From what i think i see, he has more a " U " than Y, so i'm guessing East coast. Now, it could be Diego Suarez, Sambava, Tamatave, and a few mores, but i don't believe in Ambilobe. Or any other cross, obviously!

 

[carol5208]

I know the u-bars are the Sambavas cause I have one.

Looks like a female

OP - Its weird, he doesn't look like any of the common locales. He could be a cross (Especially if he came from a petstore) or a locale I'm just not very familiar with. Do you know how old he is?

yeah i am no expert when it comes to chameleons i have done my research on housing and everything like that but when i comes to sexing i dont know haha, he was sold as a male from a petstore and is around 7 months.

Yea, she's got typical female colors. A 7 month male would have vibrant boy colors by now (reds, greens, blues, etc). But she's lovely anyway, she's got very pretty colors. I hope you're not disappointed because she is super cute Now you'll just have to get her a handsome boyfriend!

thanks for your advice cheers!
