Do stripes indicate male or female?

[Romilda_The_Chameleon]

Someone told me because my Veiled chameleon has vertical stripes it’s a male.

I cannot find anything to back thier information up.
Is it true?

Picture is when I first brought it home, so it’s angry.

Hard to tell by the photo, but you can sex your Veiled by seeing if your animal has a noticeable tarsal spur (bump on the back of the hind feet). Males will have tarsal spurs and more prominent casques.

That’s what I thought, and I’ve seen so spurs as of yet. Here’s another photo of her/him.

Stripes are on males while females have dots also yours has a large casque witch is a male trait .

So Romilda is a boy?

I guess he’s too young for the spurs to come in?

Spurs can be seen from birth. It's too early to tell by casque. No spurs no boy.

We would need a picture of the back of the back foot

Beat me to it. Veiled can be sexed from birth. A close up photo would get you an answer.

Females can have stripe patterns and males can have spots at that young age... While they do have more splotchy pattering compared to males, young veiled tend to have the same patterns until they mature. The spots you may be referring too are what you watch for when the females are sexually mature and show mustard colored spots indicating they are receptive.

Like mentioned before, best way to sex Veiled is by the back of their rear foot.

Here is a pic of my male Veiled when he was a young lad. Very spotty.
