Need help sexing our panther chameleon

[foshizzle11]

We were told it was a male about 2 months ago and he is about 5 months give or take a month. I'm not completely sure.

This is our first cham so it's not very easy to figure these things out.

Here a couple pics.

Please help!

You seem to have a pretty little female.

Looks female to me cause of lack of colors but a better pic would help

What kind of picture would be better than the ones I have posted? It's hard to get them close up because she/he likes to move quickly, surprising for a cham I think!

If you click on the photos they enlarge and it's easier to see. But there's clearly no bulge at the base of the tail, no rostral process growth typical for males (the nose ridge), and the colors are very typical for a female.

Ya, I was doing some research and I agree with you about the physical features. Now we have a tough decision!

Do we get a male and setup another cage or give her back and swap for a male? Tough decision.

 

[foshizzle11]

It is hard because we have a very large cage and no where else to setup a second cage. I guess we will see what happens after we talk to the local breeder where we got her from.

are there any other opinions on this? Any other experts out there that can help?
