If you bought a chameleon and do not know if it is a boy or a girl, we will tell you how to learn how to determine the sex of this animal.

Steps

  1. 1 If a chameleon has adopted a disguise, look at its tarsal processes - these are spurs near the animal's paws. Males have small growths on the back of their paws. If not, then you have a female chameleon.
  2. 2 Male chameleons are brighter in color and larger in size.
  3. 3 Consult with a specialist or ask the seller - he should definitely know the sex of the chameleon.
  4. 4 It all depends on the type of your chameleon. Details about each species can be found on the Internet.

Tips

  • The bumps on the feet are small enough that you will need to take a good look.
  • It is best to consult a specialist.

Warnings

  • Not all chameleon species show signs of gender.
  • If the chameleon is still small, it will be difficult to determine the gender.
