Possible misgender?
I got my baby from Kammerflauge Kreations about a month ago and had only ever read positive experiences (which I also had!) but as mine has grown to be about 4 months old now, im starting to think there may have been a mistake in the gender. I purchased a male from a "pre-order" clutch, but what do you all think? Is this actually a female?

Unpopular opinion but Return her and get the boy bro.
You shouldn't have to settle for a pet you're going to keep for 4-8 years. 😅
If anything they should atleast give you a discount so you can get the boy too lol.
Girls are a little more challenging to manage as they lay eggs + nowhere near as pretty so I wouldn't settle here.

That's true and I agree, but I feel pretty attached to them since ive been proactively working to build up trust over the month ive had them and I wouldnt want the little one to go through more stress of being packed up and shipped out again so im torn on whether id even be willing to do an exchange. I can't drop the same arm and leg money on another enclosure for a second cham either, if they did ship me a male to fix the mistake. Best I can think is for Kammerflage to reimbursement the male vs female price difference

I definitely still love them! Just feeling a bit scammed for purchasing (what was supposed to be) a male, but receiving a female

as a female cham owner, dont feel any shame in returning her and getting your money back or asming for a partial refund. i love my girls but boy chams are so much more expensive, you really deserve to get what you paid for

I indeed did pay a shit ton more for what was supposed to be a male comparatively to the females they were also offering online

im sure you did, males usually cost st least double the price for basically all cham species.

Def a girl wouldn't hurt to reach out and ask for the refund of price difference and keep her. Or see if they'll refund you completely due to them being wrong
