Male or female panther chameleon

[lostinspace23]

I have had this chameleon for almost 3 months , if right from what the pet store said about age , she or he should be around 9 months ?. Based on the pictures I posted is this possibly a male of female ?

You can quite easily tell a Panthers gender from 2 to 4 months age. At 9 months old it's easy to tell that you definitely have a female.

Well for me it's quite not that easy yet. Any opinions ?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think in multiple posts people have told you female now and you haven't believed them.

No opinion. Just that the chameleon in question is a female.

Males have hemipenal bulges, visible enough at 3 months age. At 9 months old it's hard to miss. Also at that age a male panther would have striking colours. Your chameleon shows typical female colouration.

So I can only ask once ?

It is quite common that people buy a what they are told is a male only to later figure out it is a female. And I know that is disappointing for most people which I feel you might be a bit disappointed. But it is definitely a female and you need to make the necessary arrangements to properly care for a female which is different to a male considering they will lay infertile eggs.
