Chameleon female 6 months

[Chazza]

Hi
I have a 6 month old chameleon and was told she was a female! However I have also been told that females do not have Michael colour however my Cham is very brightly colored!
Can you advise how old a veiled Cham would be to lay eggs so that I can be sure if she is a she? Thanks!

She is very friendly alway eats of my hand and happily climb on me, but I am a bit worried about her laying eggs or if she is in fact a male any differences in the way I should be looking after my Cham!

in veileds the babies start out all just as colorful. you can tell in veileds if it is male or female by the back feet. with a male, it will have a spur on the back of its heel on its back feet. females do not have a spur. ill attach a pic of a males foot showing the spur

if you are unsure if you see a spur or not, take a pic of your chams back foot from this angle and post it on this thread and we can tell you
females can lay eggs generally from 6 months and up, it really depends on their size they can reach the size to start producing eggs around six months old

you are very welcome
i would suggest reading this link about how to set up a laying bin since she is six months and could produce eggs. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/jannb/345-egg-laying-laying-bin.html
its suggested since she has reached that age to have the laying bin ready and in her enclosure 24/7 that way if you miss the signs of her being gravid she still has the opportunity to lay her eggs

You have a female.
She looks she could be carrying eggs, so get a laying bin in the cage as ReptileLove18 mentioned.
