Sex on my Senegal?

[YumeKitsune4]

We got him/her in May of this year and still can't decide 100% if it's a male or female.

Also, when do Senegals reach sexual maturity?

Cool photo! Post another photo of its whole body. Its to hard to tell the sex from this angle. Also is this a old photo? Looks like it could use a good shed.

It's a fairly recent photo. He actually shed not too long ago. He usually turns that shade when we take him outside in the sunshine, could that be it?

This is the best one I have offhand right now. I can take a better one later if needed:

Thanks! I love the pose but his face is blurry and his butt is in focus. He was being a hoss that day and kept scarfing them down before I could line up a shot, lol

Im going to lean towards a male. I could be wrong. Senegals are hard to sex.

Males have a distinct hemipenal bulge. I think that is a female.

Definitely a female. As Trace said, males has fairly evident bulges.

Thanks for your help everyone! I've tried looking up pictures but there just aren't that many. Ours is still pretty young we think and we didn't know if that would be a factor. This is not just our first chameleon but our first reptile but it's been going pretty well so far. =)
