Female? (I apologize if this is a double post...)

Demona Feb 04, 2004 12:06 AM

I've been having trouble getting my messages to post today, so I switched browsers in the hope that it would help...

Anyway, I was just wondering...can any of you tell if this is a girl or a boy? I thought it was a boy for quite a while, and it may still be too young to tell. I got him/her on October 1, and I think the age then was about a month....so...roughly five months, give or take a few weeks.

This picture isn't great, but I had a heck of a time getting it. My leo won't let me hold him/her, though crawling on me and sitting on my hand seems fine...it's just the whole grabbing and not letting him/her move that seems to be the problem.

Anyway, I was just wondering. I'm not getting any more leos any time soon or anything, but maybe someday. For now Brooklyn has to just live in his big ol' tank all alone. Or her tank...I guess I'll just call him 'Brook' if he ends up being a girl.
