I think George is a "Georgette"

Since joining this forum I figured out that Georgie is a 3-toed boxie and have been checking out some more sites that talk about them and now i'm thinking that George maybe a girl because everything I've been reading says that the solid brown colorless ones are the females and that the males are caracterized by having some orange or yellow on them. What do you guys think?

Hi JD,
It does look more female than male, but we will need to see pictures of the tail and the rear feet. Big Grin

I'll have to distract him with something yummy in order for him/her to let me do that. I'll try tomorrow! Thanks for your opinion :0)

Yes a picture of the pastrom (bottom shell} and tail would help.
