Help!! Sex & age??

[Sabrina]

Hey guys! So I got my panther from petco & they had what I believed to be two pink females & one (male?) the one I thought to be male looked completely different from the other two. But now that I'm looking further into it I honestly am on the fence... I'd really like to know what it's age may be & which kind of panther it is as well as the sex! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry I can't figure out how to post more than one pic at a time!

Could you get a side picture of him/her walking on something straight so the tail is pointed straight out. That will really help with determining the sex.

It's hard to get a good pic lol but it's sideways on this one

 

[Sabrina]

He/she moves around a lot it's hard to keep it's tail straight

This is what the pink female I was talking about looked like. & as you can see mine looks way different...

 

[Sabrina]

Here I got one with its tail straight out!!! Idk why it turned the image side ways..but it's not standing on a level surface either

Honestly still hard to tell from the pictures. Females can have all different patterns and colors especially when younger so you can't go off the pink colors.

It is still hard to see the tail base to tell if there is a bulge or not. The white lateral line is a trait of most males but I'm still not confident in saying one or the other yet.

I don't see a bulge really but honestly my guess is male. The colors and the tail in general just look more male than female. Maybe some others can chime in too and see what they think. It is always hard to tell from pictures with younger panthers.

Hahaha I know it's so frustrating! It's got male characteristics but I can't be 100% sure... So you know what it's aprox age may be? I'll see if I can wrangle a good pic up! Lol he/she is stubborn!

 

[NHenn]

Again hard to tell lol. If male I would say around 4 months and if female I would say more like 5-6.

 

[Sabrina]

I think I got a good pic it turned the image sideways again sorry!

Ok final answer lol. Female about 5-6 months old. I don't see any form of a bulge in that picture and at that age it should be pretty obvious if it was a male but this age.
