Here's pics of my lovely Tipsy. He's grown so much since I've had him... I suspect he's getting close to half-grown about now.

Trying to figure out if "he" is a boy or a girl... don't know what you can tell from this picture, though. *shrugs* Tipsy has very small bristles along his face, just at the edge, giving him a sort of fuzzy appearence. Not sure if this is an indicator of anything, but thought I'd post a pic to see if anybody has more of a clue than I do.

And since this silly girl of mine decided to get in the way, she can get her picture posted, too...

I lean more to thinking he's a she...being that there are less bristles...but i know that isn't always the case...be interesting to know if there is a true way to sex BN...since I have 2 albinos and leslie also has 2 albinos, and well, the 2 monsters in the 75

By the way the little girl just needed a bit of her own spotlight, didn't she

I would guess ata female the whiskers seen too small even a male at that size would be a lot bigger.
