Pretty baby you got there! Errr that really looks like female colouring to me! Does he have little spurs on the back of his back feet?
 
hes lush. and yepp 1000000% a male. i thought he looked like a female aswell! but hes deffo got big spurs on the back feet.

maybe he wants to be a lady? lol

I agree with Angie. Looks like a lovely receptive female. Please post pictures of the heels of the back feet.
 
I agree about him looking like a girl... maybe he is just a pretty boy :p Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there a few cases of "she-male" chameleons... IIRC fellow board member Justin Ward had a she-male panther that had both male and female traits.
 
How common is this whole I'm a guy but wanna look like a girl?
I don't want other chams teasing him lol
 
I have seen other veileds on here that had what looked to be a spur but it was not. That does look like a small bump but I'm still not sure that's a spur and if you do have a females she is at the egg laying age and colors and will need access to a laying bin at all times.
 
I'm not sure you have a male either tbh. My girls back feet are like that. Think it's time you read janns blog about egg laying and cut back in her food etc.

As for how common, I've never seen a male vieled with female colourings. Usually by that age the males have got yellow bars. I'm by no means an expert but I have looked at TONS of pictures and all the males look mostly the same.
 
its a shemale!!! lol no but seriously can you get a couple more pics of the back feet? It looks like 100% female to me by the casque shape and size and the coloration and patterning.
 
oh god! ill get some more pictures now of the back spurs. see if i can get some better ones. and yeah looks like ill have to get reading up on females is this is the case.

do females go off their food when they start needing to egg lay? because he/she stopped eating for about a week and a half but it eneded last week.

Below is a link to my egg laying blog. I'd get in a laying bin right away. If they need to lay eggs and don't have a place to lay they can become egg bound and die. I'm also attaching a few more links one on raising a female veiled and a video on making a laying bin. They can stop eating before laying but not always.
