stumped

[Jay ray]

I am still struggling with kevins sex...I posted a pic of him in the general photography section last week under "kevin.." ( please see older post)and had some response to the pic with thoughts that he is male...my only issue is the pics that i see of males have a fairly pronounced lump, which I dont see in kevin, it dosnt matter to me what sex my chameleon is i just want to care for him or her properly...he is fairly dark but after taking him to the vet a couple of times and deworming him last week and getting him hydrated he is starting to turn an emerald green with redish dots and sometimes purple strips-though still not very dark its an improvement...keep in mind that i still dont know his locale or origin aside from the info from the vet which was wc for sure and he felt a male...I would appreciate any help here with the sexing of my cham, i just want to do all the proper things for him or her...if it is a female do i need a spot at all times for digging?

If you are still concerned you can post in "chameleon identification". You will get a 100% answear there. I would say he is a male. True, there is no bright coloration and the bulge is not very pronauced (though I'm not a big expert), but I have never seen a female with such a huge rostral.
Again, if you have doubts, post in the "identification" section.

I went back and had a look at your other thread and he's 100% male! His colours are dark but not female colouring. Is it possible he's cold? Or wild caught?

Just re read and I see he is wc. That could explain his colouring maybe? wc chams are often very unhappy in captivity and can have all sorts of illnesses which would just run course in the wild. If he's unhappy then that could be why he's dark.

Thanks for helping me! he is getting better color...my hunch is that he is an ambanja (red or purple bar) and he is feeling better so only time will tell, i really appreciate everyone taking the time to help kevin and i with our curious journey, i have only had him for 19 days!!!
