Hello all -
I have 3 veiled chameleons. One is clearly a male, one is clearly a female, and I am undecided on the one shown. What do you think? Male or female?
Thanks for your comments.

males have a tarsal spur, females do not. go here and click on MALE in sexing paragraph for a photo. My inexperienced guess is a female b/c she looks very much like my little Luna

looks like a male to me. You can see slight patterns which matched roans when he was younger.

...my very inexperienced opinion! Can you see the spur in the photo? My untrained eye can't. As for color/markings, Luna has similar patterns what ones do you use to identify? Just curious...

There is a spur, the picture is very large, but go to the hind leg... One should be able to see it... And the stripes go all the way back to the tail, which I have seen in every male veiled. I am very inexperienced too, so no worries!!!
