Verly slight bulge near the vent and spur... Male

Looks male to me. Chin spike are large and the body is coloring up like a male. I went back to an older thread where you posted a pic of the back feet and there is a very noticeable spur... Just humor me, post a new photo of the back foot.

Lol this has probably happened to almost every new keeper. Once you clearly see and understand the differences and indicators it can be easy to sex Panthers and Veileds. If you've never seen a side by side it can be tough to know what you are looking for.

Give the cham a few days. Make sure the enclosure has a lot of plants and foliage to hide in. Use a feeder cup to monitor food intake rather than free range feeding.

Photos of the enclosure will help along with a close up of the tail. How is a burn not possible? What's the lighting set up look like?

You just got the cham so it probably wasn't getting the best hydration before you got it home. Keep up with regular misting and let the enclosure dry out in between sessions. Keep an eye on the urates and if there is no change in a week or so, then I would start becoming concerned. Adding...

Get leather gloves lol. Safer for the cham doing the biting. In all seriousness though, as long as you listen to the chameleons body language you won't get bitten. Common sense goes a long way. If the cham is puffed up trying to look big, back off. Hissing, back off. Trying to run away...

How long have you had the chameleon? Cage temps? I agree with what Camo stated. Its been two years since I've seen my chameleon drink water. Misting for about 3-5 minutes right before lights out at night will help with the naturalistic hydration. Chameleons and a lot of other reptiles...

Kyle has been loving Black Soldier flies lately. Just had close to 100 start pupating into flies over the last two weeks and have been letting them loose in the cage. He hunts them down with no mercy. They are a great enrichment item for chams.

It your cham wants to make you bleed, they will. Here's my infamous bite aftermath from my Kyle. He left two nice cuts from a bite and shake. Last time I ever stuck my hands in his cage without paying attention to him. Bottom line, respect all animals. If they are making it clear that they...

I'd probably guess less than a day.

https://flchams.com/chameleon-safe-plant-list/ All of the plants on this list are safe for chameleons. You can use them inside of your chams enclosure as well as outside.

Stressed for sure. The cham will feel safer and less stressed in a tree or branchy plant during outside time. I have a ficus and hibiscus free range on my deck that I bring my veiled to during outside time. Always keep your eye on them while outside.

Never used it. My nozzles drip a few times after the pump stops. Didn't think it would be worth it since all the plants in my enclosure would be dripping for a few minutes after misting anyways.

A bad day... lol

Just adding to the whole "bones heal fine on their own" statement... Explain my bent and crooked finger from an old injury... I neglected to get my finger looked at after I got it closed in a humvee door. It never healed straight so now I can't extend or fully bend my finger. So I hope you...

And raise an army of vicious veiled chameleons? Haha

Lol try living with him.. Moody punk

Me reading that...
