Is my Panther Chameleon a male or female?

[laszlo moholy nagy]

Hello guys! I am curious to know if my chameleon is a male or a female.
It's 3 months old and I have uploaded a few pictures for reference! If anyone can understand please let me know.. Thanx in advance for any answer!!!

Can't tell from those pics. You want to show us shots that are side view that show the base of the tail. From there, you can see the hemi penal bulge.

any better?

So hard to tell when they're small, but currently that looks female to me. It took my fella' a while to develop his bulge to a point where it was obvious, he was definitely bigger than that.

I see.. Hopefully I will upload more pictures this afternoon that i will take him/her out! Maybe make it even more clear..! Thanx a lot though!

Just had a look at your pictures of your panther when he was younger! The colors look pretty similar! And the tail part as well at those earlier ones u've uploaded!! Hopefully mine is a boy as well since is my first panther and I would really like the bright colors!!

try to get a closer shot of him/her, try to get one closer to the base of the tail, the closer it is there the most likely we will be able to see if it is male or female

Will surely post some more later on today! Whatever it is though is an amazing little fellow!!

He/she is absolutely gorgeous. It is quite worrying when you don't know the sex because you know theres extra work to keep the females healthy, I was really scared when I was told mine might be a girl on an older thread, as I've seen how many posts there are on this forum about gravid females and such! With college coming next year I would have had trouble balancing it all. Problem is I was attached the moment I got him so there was no chance I would have been able to disattach.

I agree with chameleongirl2, try a closer picture. Try get a really good photo of the tail base.

Can you send me some links for the female special care? I am starting my degree as well this Semtember and i think is going to be a really busy period! I would like to know what do I need to do in case of a female! I am attached to it as well and there is no chance to exchange it for another male! Maybe buy a male after this one become an adult!

From those pictures I agree female but some closer shots of the tail base would be helpful

 

[Cainschams]

Its a female 100%.

i'm gonna have to go with Female.

 

[CBPanther]

By those photos, I will guess male. He looks like there is a buldge and the coloration/pattern appears male. Either way, cute

 

[drcrossfire]

theres always gonna be some debate at this size-- but from this picture series it seems there is no distictive "buldge"--- thus, female

 

[laszlo moholy nagy]

Any better now? Is it possible to understand now? From the things i read so far looks like a female..

 

[Symbiot]

Definitely looks like a female panther you've got there.

 

[laszlo moholy nagy]

Yeah!! Thought so.. Thank you anyway!!

I think it looks more like a young male. Those last 3 pics you posted certainly look like theres a slight bulge, plus, the tail is very thick towards the vent, females have narrow tails. I could be wrong of course, as said its hard to tell at such a young age, but i guessed 22 out of 22 3 weeks old nosy be my friend had!
