Baby Jackson! (with picture) :)

its a female. aside from the fact that even a late blooming male would have farther developed horns by now. but even if we put the whole horn issue aside, its a female based on ;

1. shortness of the face
2. slope of the ocular area
3. shape of the casque
4. taller back, shorter, rounder overall body profile

5. and then there is the whole horn issue. imo, i believe it is possible for males not to develop their ocular horns, although, i think it is extremely rare. in thousands of hrs of obsessive jacksons googling, i have only seen one reported instance of a captive male xanth whose ocular horns failed to develop, and even then the authenticity of the article was questionable. and have never seen a reported instance of wild adolescent male xanths whose ocular horns had failed to develop. ime, late bloomers or not, by 3 mths all males should have their ocular horns well on the way to becoming real horns. (meaning significantly developed past the vestigial nub stage)

so, whether you want to go by 1-4, or just on 5 alone, ill guaranty its a female, but thats jmo.
