Jellybean, boy or girl?

[zoomom]

Hi, this is our 1st panther chameleon, we already have a male veiled. Still having problems telling whether Jellybean is a male or female. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We think Jellybean is a male. Does anyone agree? And would appreciate an estimate on age if anyone give one. Thanks

I think you have a girl maybe 3-5 months old. girl dont see a bulge and I have a 3 month old female panther that is the same size

Oh, the reason we thought Jellybean was a boy was because of the difference in the base of the tail between ours and the other panther they had there. I took pics to try and figure it out. The 1st pic is of the other panther, 2nd is of ours,and 3rd is of Jellybean after a shed this morning.

Im still going with female. The tail base/vent are still looks female to me. Hopefully some of our more experienced member will comment.

I also agree with female. Don't see a bump.

I would be in the female camp as well, at about 80% certainty. Every now and then you get a late bloomer on the hemipenal bulge, but as this one is already around 5" total length, it should have a snout that goes out at least to its lip. And it doesn't appear to have such.
