Well I dont mind if he has little ones, I was just making sure thats what it was...
I have another question tho, When do they start to get there Yellow bands? I guess that would be considered there mature colors...So when does this happen? Mine is 5 months...
should start seeing them within the next 3mo

It's funny... I have a rescued veiled that is the same way... When I brought him home he was probably 5 months and his colors fired up with so much contrast I automatically thought male... I haD never seen a fem with those colors and patterns.. but then I looked for the spur, it was tiny... Sometimes it is so small I even go back and forth on if it is actually there or not. But I feel it and there is definately a hard point on the back of his foot, it just barely pokes out the skin... and you have to be at the right angle to see it. Maybe I will post pics and take a vote. Just because I have convinced myself so many times that it is male, but then at times I see other spurs and I question it.

Haha, You sound just like me! I see it and then I am like, OK yeah its a male, Then sometimes I cant hardly see it at all, and I start questioning myself that I ever even saw it in the first place, lol, So I just keep looking at his picture of his spurs and say, Ok its still a boy, haha its not like they are going to dissapear, And then when a lot of breeders here said female I was like, So I Dont see a bump, but then I go look at him and see the bump and I just think to myself , there is no way it could be female, if females dont have hard bumps at all, Its small but its there!
POST A PIC! I wanna see!!!

I will have to get a Tarsal shot tonight... You cant really get a good look in this shot... But I have never seen a female fire up like this. I can feel a little bump... but honestly at first glance you would think that there is nothing there. So here is Cuervo...My Cham in Question...

As he was a rescue I am had to estimate on actual age but in this pic I would say he was about 4 or 5 months. Now he would be 6-7 months. I will post pics of him now and a tarsal shot once I can get one taken. But I just rememberd one thing that I think guarantees he is a male... I tested one day by holding my female outside the cage he did start bobbing his head. When I get home I will take the best pics I can of what I think is his spur so you can see... It has to be the smallest one I have encuontered yet... I wonder if it has to do with the lack of care he was recieving before I rescued him.

i have pics !!! im thinking my cham is a girl but i see small indentations in the back of her foot...
im assuming she is a girl with a small thing of skin sticking out...iono
she doesnt turn any other colors then green and dark green...ONE time i saw her flare up with a bit of yellow and i assumed she was gravid but then stopped showing those colors as soon as i pulled my hand out of the cage (cleaning cage)
