I think we have a female ...

[BillV]

We purchased this Ambanja Panther Chameleon on March 23, 2020. We were told it was a male and 3 months old at the time. The pinkish colors really started to show the beginning of this week while outside on field trips. We present the stick in the picture to “Barry” and he/she climbs onto it for the journey outside. If in fact this chameleon is a female we need to shift gears and get her what she needs. Can anyone confirm male or female? Thank you.

Thank you for your replies. I need to get educated on what she needs for egg laying. We have no interest in breeding, just want her to be happy and healthy.

Beautiful little girl you have...
By about 6 months she should be getting about 5-8 small feeders each day. At about 7 months you want to slowly reduce by cutting down feeders so that she is on a feeding schedule of 3 days a week with 3-4 feeders. You want them to be on this schedule by the time they are 10 months old.


You will not want basking to be over 79-80 for her. Very important for females because as she ages she needs this temp no higher at basking to help control the amount of eggs she produces.

Here are some additional resources on lay bins.

Thanks for the information. The first video laying-bin-setup does not play for me. Is there another resource.
