Hello and welcome to the forums!! Post some pictures of the back feet, if they have tarsal spurs they are male. If no spurs, its a female. You can also post pics from the side and the people on the forums and get a guestimate of the age!

Also if you havent already, you could fill out a hubandry form so you can be sure everything for your cham is correct.
