Help me identify my Panther Chameleon

[jbabybulldog]

I bought this Panther Chameleon as a male, however he hasn't showed any vibrant colors yet. The local pet store doesn't seem shady I've bought other animals from them, however they said he was about 6-8months and everything I've seen shows the males to have bright colors by then. I've included a few pics taken the one with the white stripe was taken on a different day. Sometimes it looks like he has the bulge and then other times it does not, so any info would be welcomed. Thank you.

You've got a female there...

Thanks for the reply, what makes you identify it as a female? I know some of the pics make it look peachy colored but I think that's the lighting.

The lack of a hemipenal bulge at the tail base.

Mmm, I was thinking the same until the last pic. The red dots and straight across tail profile. Male that should start coloring up real soon.
