THIS IS MY PANTER HE/SHE DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS YET SHOULD BE GETTING AROUND THE 3 TO 3.5 MONTH OLD RANGE..

I WAS WONDERING IF HE STARTING TO LOOK MORE LIKE A MALE OR FMALE..

Hey Panther kid. Sadly once again, those photos are really not clear enough to be able to tell. On first glance, I'm going to say female because of the age in view of the fact that mine at 3.5 months, both males showed the hemipenal bulge quite clearly. Please post clearer photos though if you can as it really is almost impossible to tell, I'm sure everyone will have an opinion.

need something a little bit clearer, those are pretty blurry.

HERE IS A BETTER PICTURE.. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

Still a little hard to tell. can you post a pic like your avitar. That is the perfect angle.

lol this must be frustrating for you. I'm sorry that we keep asking you for better pics.

But, as long as the picture is blurry and the vent area is covered or get pressed down nearby the vine by the baby, it becomes increasingly difficult to sex.
Like Ryan said, your avatar (provided that it's not blurry) would be a perfect angle.
If you are using a typical digicam, use your macro setting.

But, if i have to guess by the pic you provided, i would say it's a male with 50% accuracy .

How about these guys.. CAN YOU TELL NOW

Perfect pictures.

I think its a girl.. Even at 2 months you can see the bulge in my ambanja. I just don't see it in your pics. The colors throw me off . I am going to stick with female.

Perfect!
Like Ryan, I vote that it's a girl.
There is a sliiiiiiight tiny tiny chance that it is an effeminate boy with small hemipenis.

but most likely it's a girl!

But i have been looking and i do see a little bulge right behide the poop area.. It just never shows up in the pictures.. But i guest ill just have to see once he/she starts getting bigger.. Is there a chance it can still be a male, because he/she is showing no female coloration

behind the "poop area" is the flap. looks kinda like a bulge. I am not seeing any evidence of a bulge at all.

All of your posts I have been pretty constant with claiming its a female.

I have seen females with colors yours is presenting. Time will tell, but i really think its a she

 

[Ryan Jarosek]

Are you looking at this area. The bulge I see on yours is the flap. Its not the bump at the base of the tale.

Here is an example of my cham when he was the same age as yours ,, Notice the bulge behind the flap. Also notice his colors. He just happens to be light. Almost like a female.

the little bulge behind the poop area is just the bulge from the vent.
you need to look behind that bulge. If you see Ryan's pic, you can slightly tell that there is a bump (hemipenis bulge) on the tail where it's going to become larger later in life.

Here is a male panther pic from Flchams: See behind the bulge that you are talking about, there is another bulge just longer that make the tails ain't so straight. That's the bulge you should be looking for.

In yours, the tail is very straight. There is no angular or slight bulge before the vent.

Honestly, looking at coloration, your panther does looked like a male.
But, sexing based on coloration is very inaccurate.
I have seen male chameleons that are pink and brown during his babyhood.

Again, there is a sliiiiiiiiiight chance that yours might be an effeminate male.

But, you should be ready with a female panther extra care.
I'm 90% positive that it's a she. Maybe other members can elaborate or disagree with me...

 

[dodolah]

HA! Ryan, i was about to take your picture and draw a circle. but, i realize it's yours. it won't be ethical .
Good thing you did it.

, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Its all for educational purposes.

 

[Kat77]

Yeah, Pantherkid, I'm going to say female again, too. The bulge that should be clearly visable at 3.5 months just doesn't appear to be there. As Dodolah said, sexing on coloration alone isn't very accurate.

Well I dont mind being disagreeable. I think it may be too soon to tell for sure with that individual. I've had a male who was a little late to develop his manhood, and we thought him a she until 4.5 months when suddenly.... he is now a lovely big beast. With most you can tell at 3 months, but there are a few that are more difficult!

This you are absolutely correct about. I should have said in that my answer is NOT 100%. I was hoping that now that he/she is older, it would be more clear...but I guess not!
