male or female hatchling

[plzhelp]

anyway to tell if this little guy is male or female

(i'm assuming that is a panther chameleon.) It's pretty hard to distinguish whether it is a male or female at such a small age. You'd really need to wait until it is 3-4 months old before the colors will start to come in. A male will have the bright colors, which are dependent on which locale he comes from, and a female will have a peachy color with black stripes/spots, or vice versa depending on the locale. Also, when they get older, there will be a small bump under the tail if it's male.

Female. You can tell by the lack of a hemipenal bulge.
