Just wondering when do panthers start showing color mine is 4 months old and has sparce coloring if any.

Those are normal colors for a female Panther Chameleon.

I hate to say it, but if that is at 4 months old, it is a female. By 4 months they should be showing a good deal of color. As a comparison, here is a picture of my 3.5 month panther. You can see all of the greens and blues, with some yellow and red peeking through. The peach color of your panther screams female.




If that was sold to you as a male, and you absolutely don't want a female, then I would contact the breeder you got it from and see if they will exchange it for the ale you thought you were getting. Otherwise, you have a beautiful, healthy female.

I was thinking he may be a late bloomer heres some more pics im no exspert so any suggestions would be great.

That is a female, the base of the tail there would be a slight bulge if not it would be thicker. The colorings of the chameleon also indicate female colorations.

100% female. No hemipenal bulge and the last pic you posted is straight female colors. What you see now is basically her permanent coloring.

Does this help if this is a female ill be upset

 

[ChameleonRave]

The bulge would be further into the tail, not at the legs. Was she purchased a male?

 

[Psychedelic Chams]

Yes unfortunently

Maybe you can contact the breeder and talk to them, maybe they will be willing to switch her out for a proven male.

Edit: Either way, she looks like she is in a great home and looks very healthy. She'll be a beautiful female. Sometimes they are underrated in my eyes due to the fact they don't show the vivid colors that a male may show.
