Hi, I am new to this forum. About 4 months ago I purchased a baby veiled, which looked to be about a month old at the time. It was sold to me as a male and I have been referring to the baby as a male since. But I am now convinced that the baby I bought as a male is actually a female. I see no signs at all of the spurs that I have been told should have been present at birth. Are there other ways to tell the sex? Also, if baby is in fact a female, when should I plan to put a nesting box in her habitat? I used to breed bearded dragons and so am aware of what can happen if a female reptile doesn't have a proper nesting place, I don't want that to happen to this little one!

Could you post some pictures? That'll help everyone help you figure out what it is.

Welcome to the forums. You can post a pic we might be able to tell the sex. I keep veileds and I'm attaching my laying bin blog for you below. Also I'll post a link for you on how to post photos.

Find Jannbs blog. she has a blog on new cham owners as well as laying bins. female veileds can lay eggs as early as 6 months. if you post a pic of the back of the back feet, we can tell you for sure if its male or female.
Thank you all. Jannb, I have read your blog and am going to save it to my computer for future reference, it will come in very handy. You say you use a trash can, right? Would I be able to use a large rubbermaid tub so that I can keep it in the house easier? I apologize if you mentioned that and I just missed it.

Yes, you can use anything that you can get her to lay in. These girls are picky.
