Help!

HI I just recieved my 4 month old veiled chameleon...I ordered a male.....I know they have spurs on the back feet, But do they have these from birth? Or do they grow as they get older? I dont see them on mine...Does this mean it is a female? Or can you just not see them yet??? HELP!

Ok Thanks, I know what it looks like on adults, When I bought my last chameleon who just passed at the age of 5 or 6, he was already like 15 inchs long when I bought him, So the spur was huge....But this one is only 4 months, But I called the breeder, and she told me what it would look like on a baby, just like a little bump, and he DOES have that, I just thought it was bigger, But NOw I know they get bigger as he grows, just like there Casque, and the rest of there body...So I think Im good....haha, I just have never owned one so small! But he is a boy!
