How to sex a Jackson chameleon

[Blueberry2223]

Is there any way to tell if a Jackson is a male or female right when it is born because I know that they are not born with horns.
Thanks for any advice!

Any of the horned species can be sexed at birth. They have something called ‘horn buds’ were the horns will start growing. They look like enlarged scales with a ring of smaller scales around it and you can see them if you look closely. You might need a magnifying glass?

Here are the horn buds on a baby male Trioceros deremensis:



Here is the horn bud on a baby female Trioceros werneri:



Hope this helps.
Cheers,
