We went and picked this little guy/girl up today from Urmston. Not too sure on the sex (any guesses welcome lol). I'll attach some pics of the viv too.

Nice horsefields, nice light colour

Its a good size and looks a character, setup looks good, plenty of ventilation..

keep us upto date on how your sis gets on with him/her.

Thanks Mike, if we try and get some closer pics of the tail is that how it can be sexed? If so could you take a guess for us when we get closer pics?

Thanks for the links Mike, and thanks Paul.

I think it's having it's first bath on Wednesday so I will try and get some more pics (especially it's tail). Also I'll lend her my weighing scales to see what it weighs and get some measurements - with those do you think you could make a guess at it's age?
