idk what that is...i have a feeling its a female but thats just a random guess.

 

[beavesss]

I reminds me of a carpet but idk if it is. It's beautiful though

I don't know what type it is, but what are those white marks? Do you know if it just shed?

The store owner told me its female but i don't trust him, he don't know well about chams.

Its beautiful but I don't have a clue. Just my opinion, isn't it better to get a cham that you know what it is?

I think this white marks id from treating, they wasn't handle it well, they keep like more than 10 adult chams in a very small cage

well my guess is that its a GRAVID female. look like those might be gravid colors of that sepicies and it had "female feautures"

thats just what it looks like to me. i hope someone can tell you quickly becuz its importent.

Yes its better for me, but i liked this one so much its color attracted me.

It's a female Chamaeleo africanus.

Thats exactly what I thought. The stomach area looks a little bloated as well.

To the threadmaker, get a laying bin and put it in her cage ASAP. She is going to lay eggs. A laying bin is a bucket with moist sand inside of it. (moist enough to make sure your cham can dig in it and not have the tunnel collapse.) If you see her start to dig, DO NOT disturb her. This can cause her to become eggbound. Theres a blog around here that explains it ten times better than me, ill see if I can find it.

Also, just to make sure you have the husbandry down correctly, please fill this out.
