This is a female right?

Female I think? I'm worried because I wanted a male I hear females are a bit more moody and harder to keep?

Females in my opinion are less aggressive than males. They are not harder to keep the only big difference is you need a lay bin for her once she's sexually mature. Right now she's a baby and will need to each as much as she can to grow but once she's an adult you don't need to feed to much so she doesn't produce to many eggs. Your looks female.

She looks like a female. They seem more docile in my opinion like @Fireborn said, but they can have reproductive issues if not kept properly once they are adults, like dystocia (eggbound), prolapse, etc.

Right that was my concern. I was under the impresson that females were more territorial. I asked for a male for those reasons exactly egg bound was a worrie for my since I am an inexperienced Cham owner.

Just be prepared. Happy Holidays!

Read up on laying bin and supplementation/diet. Females sometimes need adjustments made due to how much nutrients they lose during egg development and laying.

Heres some good info: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/
There is an entire section in this caresheet for female chameleon care and egg laying.

As stated by others, females tend to be more docile than males.
