About 4 months old, can't determine gender.

This is my first post.
I have had this guy, I think for a month.
I'm curious, male or female?

I’m not an expert, but I am pretty sure this a boy due to his spurs! I have a female veiled and she doesn’t have those and her casque is much smaller! Hopefully one of the experts can weigh in and confirm but I definitely think boy!

Well noted.
I appreciate the input.
I set up a lay box just in case. It started to get a belly and made me think it was gravid.

New to chameleons, thanks for the input.

That’s a boy. You are correct He’s pretty handsome btw!

This is just me asking, but how can you tell?

GrannyK do you have any experience with baby panthers? I have one that I have not been able to confirm for the last month!

I have the lay bin set up, but it's heavy, and I want to remove it if I don't need it.

Pretty confident he is in fact "Ol' George" and "Georgia"?

Thanks for the speedy response, I've followed this site for months now.
This site and "Neptune" of course.

So you can 100 percent tell if you can identify a bulge after hemipenes but I can’t discern this for my life. The casque is a lot taller in a male and in a veiled the tell tale sign is the tarsal spurs which your boy has.

In a female there is not even a little bump in the back it’s super flat. Here’s a video from Neptune!

I third that it's a male; along with the spur, his colors are more vibrant for a young age and the casque is bigger.

I think it's safe to remove the lay bin, but that's awesome you knew to put one in! Looking forward to watching your little man Sir George grow!

I knew it was a 50-50 on my end. I bought it at a lizard store, not a chain. They said "no clue", and rightfully so.
I don't know if that's considered the "heel bone" or of that's what the "spur" is.

This is just me asking, but how can you tell?

Tail spur on foot, casque height and pattern.

Post a thread and we’ll give it a guess. I’m not always right they are tougher. Lol
