Each Cham is different...
Some Chams simply don't like interaction... Chameleons are by nature solitary animals... so each Cham is different, some do not mind being handled and even seem to "enjoy" it... others simply don't want to be bothered... and get "pissy".... When you get a Cham you have...
Yes, check the rear feet...
Check to see if you see any spurs or bumps resembling such on the back feet... females do not have them males do.
Congrats on your baby& good luck! :D
No 12 flightless flies are fine...

Research in advance and prepare $$$ wise....
I second most of what everyone else has already said. Cham's can be difficult to keep in the respect they require certain things... but if you do your research in advance on a place like this Forum instead of rely on mostly "Poor Petstore" advise and...
Finally!
Lol! you finally put up pics! Thanks for letting us take a peak!... no sense keeping her all to yourself!!! :D
I would have to agree I think you have a little girl on your hands!
Also just a suggestion...
Another suggestion... I noticed that you have reptile carpet on the bottom of the enclosure... it's best to leave the bottom bare.... any type of subtrate, including reptile carpet can be breeding grounds for bacteria in my opinion. If you are going to keep it just be...
