sexing troubles

[ozzy24]

Hi Everyone,

im very new to this forum but have seen some quite interesting advice.

Im having trouble with my Sambava Panther Chameleon first of all its eyes keep swelling up half way through the day but then go down again after about an hour is this something to worry about or is it just a silly moment

I am also having trouble with sexing him or him if someone could please help me as i am new to chameleons and im abit worried

It has no colour but alot of bold patterns if that helps and its about 12 weeks old+

kind regards

was told it was male when purchased but not the shop is saying its a female but it has a shovel like head which indecates male is that correct ?

I'm almost 100% positive given how old it is and through pictures that you have a baby girl. Id definitely contact the breeder if you were looking for a boy and that eye is reapply starting to look bad in that 2nd photo. If you do decide to keep her I recommend you bring her to a herp vet. Hope I helped!

It appears to be a girl, but if you could get better photos of the base of the tail from the side that would be great.

Sorry if this isn't a good quality picture she/he was trying to run away and I brought him from a pet shop so they won't change him if its not a male.
As well his eyes were really puffed out last month but have really settled down since I have been using repti safe as the pet shop didnt tell me I had to use this in its water supply but been ok since so hopefully that was the problem

Definitive female.
