Sexing Senegals?

[FFSTRescue]

Can anyone help me identify sex of Senegals? I have already read this thread...
https://www.chameleonforums.com/sexing-senegals-19818/
but the Senegals I'm acclimating are different ages, so size comparison won't help, and I don't see any hemipenal bulges, but I have a hard time believing they are all female. The only difference I notice is difference in casque size. I remember reading that the casque of the males is larger than the females. Is that true, not accurate, or the other way around? Thanks!

The best way to sex most chameleons regardless of their age is by looking at the base of the tail....it just takes some practice.

The hemipenal bulge is not very significant in this species (at least not in my emaciated group anyway) so I was hoping for a back-up method, such as the size of the casque. Does anyone know if it is true that the male's casque is slightly larger?

There doesn't have to be a bulge...the shape of the tail shows it. I'll see if I can find something to show you.

Its easiest to wait until there adults and at a point when there weight stays consistent. Males are usually smaller in length then females but have a slightly larger head and wider caque. They also seem to stay a darker shade of green and have a slightly fatter tail base. Females tend to stay a brighter green and are a bit spotter. Coloration may be different from country to country, locale to locale so this might not be 100%. Im basing my info from WC's from Benin.

Great, thanks! I'll post some different pictures when I get time

I can't find pictures that are clear enough of a female so you can compare them. There was a thread on this forum with hatchlings in it that showed it well though...anybody know the link for the thread I mean??
