It is hard to tell at this age. You could take a picture of them a few minutes later, and they would look different. But, if I had to guess at this point, the first would be a female and the second, a male.
To the experienced eye, panthers are quite easy to sex when they are that small based on the shape of the tail. Sometimes when they get to the 2-3 month range it becomes more difficult to tell but at this age it's easy. The third photo is definitely a male. The first also seems to be a female but the angle the tail is held makes me a little hesitant to say for sure. Another shot of that animal with the tail held straight, like in the 3rd pic, might help make it more clear.
Kent, thanks for the response. I have done a ton of reading on this forum for the past year(feels like 2) and have gotten to know the key players and I have to say I very much respect your opinion, knowledge, and attitude towards keeping chameleons.(espeacially on parsons) Plus you have GTP's which is awesome. Now for the real question. I am happy to ask for opinions but I would also like to gain the knowledge to tell the difference on my own. Would you mind explainining the difference between the tails? And are there any other indicators now and maybe down the road I can look for?
I think this should be posted for everyone in the breeding forum. I think this question prob get asked a lot.
Kent is right about it getting harder around the 2-3 month mark. It seemed to me that the females will actually show more color which can throw you off when trying to sex them.
Yep. And nice pics, too! That's the perfect angle for sexing them.
