Need help sexing Panther

[Kbotelho]

I bought my panther in November for my birthday and payed for a male, he is now around 6 months and his lack of color concerns me. He/she is my first so I am not good with the tail bulge telling. I'm not sure if it is an ambilobe I can't remember what the breeder told me, but I'm really hoping it's a male because that's what it was sold to me as. I would appreciate any advice, thank you!!!

ugh, sorry to say you have a female! By 6 months you would see male coloring. Also, the tail pic you posted is that of a female.

I completely agree with Carol...you definitely have a female. Maybe you can contact the breeder and work something out. Good luck!

Thank you guys so much for all your help! I will contact the breeder I'm definitely keeping her I love her so much.

I had the EXACT same experience! Bought a male in November, have a female now. I wouldn't trade her in for the world but still a little let down. Ours look almost identical. I bought from backwater reptiles.

Yeah I bought mine from a women from the mass reptile expo but the problem is I can't find the card she gave me and nothing comes up for were she said she lives so I'm going back to the expo in May to try to find her and work something out. I love my chameleon but I really wanted a male and I'm very let down from a breeder who said she has been doing this for years thank you for everyone's help.
