Someone help me sex these please:Cuban False Chameleon

Not sure if I’m even allowed to place this here. But I can’t find a definite answer anywhere. There guys were sold to me as a male/female pair. One I can clearly tell is a male. The other I’m having a hard time with. Hopefully some one can help me with a definite answer. Thanks.

First one is clearly the male. It’s the second picture I need help with. Thanks guys and girls.

Sorry mods

Well there you go, Travis states male & female.....


I still don't see any signs of hemipenes or femoral pores, does this specie show no signs, or am I totally missing it?

It has to do with post anal scales the males have a clear set , which can be seen if the first picture. The second animal appears to have some smaller, different looking and less obvious scales around the same area. This trait should be absent in females. I’m confused because they both appear different...

The male will have 2 larger scales like a bow tie which you see in the first pic, and the 2nd pic does no show them unless the skin is folded. These will obvious from birth.

I hope this picture helps

Yeah that looks female, do you see in the first pic the 2 larger scales? That’s how you tell a male right from birth

I’m going with male...
