What type of Chameleon is he?

[elephanto2]

Hello, I just want to know what kind of Chameleon this guys is?

 

[SourGrape4u]

Looks like a female veiled that might be gravid?

 

[elephanto2]

I thought it could be a veiled, I was also told it was a male. Are there any major differences between male and female?

 

[SourGrape4u]

Send a pic of the back feet. There would be a spur if male. Like a rooster but small.

 

[elephanto2]

Sorry about the bad images. I didn't want to disturb him too much. By the looks of it, he doesn't have any.

 

[SourGrape4u]

If that is the back side of her back foot that is a female.

Thank you, I'm going to try and get a better look next time he/she is out. The previous owners I think assumed it was a he because of his casque. Not sure if that is incorrect.

 

[SourGrape4u]

That's what made me first think female from how short the veil on the head is

looks like a helmeted chameleon?

It looks like she is obese, as well as possible gravid. The cask is plump, and cheeks, and feet.

Males have tarsal Spurs on the back of the back feet...

Hey, mention obese do you mean she is possibly overweight?

Need better pictures to be sure, but faily confident you have a female veiled chameleon, and she looks like she needs a laying bin in her enclosure asap.

yes. From the pic. You can look at feet , cheeks, and casque. See the plumpness.

I am not an expert. You can get a digital scale for under $10. That is what I did.

Please post more photos of her.

Hey guys, here are some more images to help. I am now in agreement that this is female. Everything points to it and all your help. She's not happy in some images. She is really moody. Also if anyone has any more tips of how to get her more friendly/comfortable. I don't plan on holding her all the time, I just want to get her to feel more comfortable around me. I've started to try and hand feed her so she doesn't see my hand as a threat, but that's still in process.

Gingero just posted a video on this, she has really good videos on pretty much anything.
