Male, female, female, but I could totally be wrong. I haven't had to sex baby panthers yet.
 
My guess is male, female and it is hard to tell on the last with the the way the light is shining on the body.
 
I'm pretty sure you were right the first time Nikki. The 2nd pic "could" be just the angle, but 1 is definitely male and 3 is definitely female.

Good job taking those pics. They are the perfect angle but something about the position of #2 makes me not want to say 100% sure.

thats what i was thinking as well. #2 is kinda hard to tell. I'm assuming you bought 1 male and 2 females for breeding project?

hopefully our guesses are what you wanted
 
Thanks guys,

I was trying to pick a trio, but having two males wouldn't bother me at all. My guess is male, female, male. The third image might be too light but this little guy shows a few color rings on the tail and some stripes on the body. Hard to tell, so time will tell.

Eventually I would like to breed them, but I was thinking more into enjoying them and see them grow.We'll see, thanks for your input.
 
If you are like me and most people on here....enjoying chameleons lead to breeding chameleons lol. I've spent many years enjoying them and now I want to take it to another level and start my own project just to see how my husbandry rates as far as breeding. Good luck to you and my guess is just like the others male female female but #2 is kinda eiffy. Enjoy! :D

It's all about the shape of the base of the tail. The third one is definitely female. Another pic from the side of #2 would probably make that one 100%, also. Color isn't a good way to tell if you're keeping them together. I have a clutch that is about 7 weeks old now. After the first couple weeks I separated all the females (4) into their own group and once the males were gone they all showed more typical female colors.
