It was the only one so i'm guessing it might not be the healthiest either. I don't know where they got the eggs.

They are panthers, it is the same as all panthers with the buldge for a male.

yeah i'm pretty sure carpets are a panther species. everything says they are sexed the same way, and they from the furcifer genus.

I think they are just a small kind of panther species. or panthers and carpets have the same genus so they are similar in that way? It's too technical, but panthers are furcifer paralis, and carpets are furcifer lateralis

ah got it. but still they are sexed the same way. unfortunately I don't have a better pic I got these off their facebook. I wanted to get a female but unfortunately only this one hatched.

there were but they said this guy was the only one that hatched. I don't know if the others went bad or if they are going to wait to see if the others take longer. but he is "han solo"

If you could get a better lit picture, that is a little closer to the base of the tail, we should be able to sex the neonate.
As far as being "little panthers", I could see what you're saying, but I think the way you said it was a tad confusing. As both of you know, Panthers are known as Furcifer Pardalis, while Carpets are Furcifer lateralis lateralis. Aside from this, they do share the same genus, but like Pssh has said, are different species.
You sex all chameleons the same, by the base of the tail. While some species do exhibit tarsal spurs, many more do not. So, like I said earlier, get a clearer picture, and we can sex it for ya

Is there such a device that can get a clear picture of the tail section on a chameleon that small

Of course. If you have a camera with a Macro/Close-up function, that usually does the trick. Or, you could have a DSLR set up that allows you to do that, but basically the same thing.LPR08

Wow. Even on my macro setting I couldnt get that close with my camera without it going blurry I think

I could get the picture with my camera but the baby does not belong to me and I don't know if the owner would want me taking a picture of him. He may not even have him on the store floor.
