5 month old sambava male or female?!

[Chamsplz]

Please help I bought my little guy about 3 months ago February 25 to be exact and was told he was sambava male,he is now 5 months and still no color idk if it’s male or female plzzzz help me out anyone and everyone plzzz

I would say a female but I am definitely not 100% sure. I am not seeing a hemipenal bulge and the colors look peachy like a females. Once others start saying what they think the sex is based on that I would get a laying bin ready. If you don’t know how to do that here is a great link: Chameleon Academy Laying Bin Hope this helps

My guess is a female too

 

[Chamsplz]

Damn that really sucks

 

[Beman]

I would say female because of the tail base. I am not seeing any bulge. Take a look at this link. http://www.muchadoaboutchameleons.com/2013/04/male-or-female-how-to-sex-baby-panther.html

Looks like you have a female. Here is an almost 5 month old male sambava with a really cool bar I just posted on our website.

Here is a picture of a 4 month old I had. Ignoring color Look at how thick the tail base is.

 

[Texas Ranger]

Here is a 3 month old the tail base is thick where in females like yours gets skinny right after the vent.

I think females are lovely! Just a little extra care and watching when it comes to the eggs!

 

[Chamsplz]

Yea I don’t care for eggs I wanted colorful not dull and ugly sucks so bad

 

[Chamsplz]

When will she have eggs?

If you’re wanting to rehome her asap your best bet would to not charge to rehome her or rehome her with a small fee, there’s a lot of people that try to rehome chams on the forums with a high price and never have any luck, and with her being a female that you don’t want you’ll want to find her a home so she isn’t so stressed out when it comes to laying eggs

When will she have eggs?

They can start as early as 4-5 months

Who did she come from? Maybe they will work something out with you.

That’s what I was thinking, but if they sent out a female thinking it was a male then I’m not sure they’re very trustworthy

 

[Chamsplz]

Came from beachside chameleons I emailed them and have had no response

Honestly I’ve never heard of them. Not too sure if they’re trustworthy or not

 

[Paradalis]

I agree with @yungzerk . I don’t think they are trustworthy and if you want a male I would get from someone from our sponsors list. They are 100% reliable. Also females are amazing and the eggs are easy to deal with. They are beautiful in there colors even though they aren’t as bright as the males. It could be a whole new adventure if you choose to keep her. I too adore the males for there colors but feel something like a calm beauty when I look at females, but it’s all you choice. Also just because I like to look at different chameleons may I see your current chams please? I wish you the best and hope to be seeing you on the forum!

The way I feel is the universe sends us what we end up needing in life. So don’t be so quick cause she may end up being the best pet you have ever had. Best of luck to you both

I find females amazing and you will quickly fall in love with their beauty. The pink and purple is always amazing and they're so sweet. The egg laying is no big issue if you keep the parameters good (food amount vs temperature).
This was always my girl she was pink but always whitish with red.......
