I have a 3 month old Bearded Pygmy Chameleon that I hatched out which I am having a little bit of difficulty sexing. I have an idea of the possible sex, but I would like some input from some experienced keepers. All of the other babies I have hatched out are fairly obviously male or female. Here are a couple of pictures:

They are very cute. This one is from the first clutch I hatched out, and the female that is producing for me is gravid with her sixth clutch this season. I'm holding a lot of babies back for breeding since Tanzania shut down export.
 
Thanks! That was my initial guess, as this individual acts a lot like the other males. I was just unsure since the other male babies have longer tails, more serrated dorsa, and much more distinct, darker patterns.
