OK so I have posted up a few times about my problem with my young Nosy Be Panther. Just a quick recap. Got her from a local breeder, he thought she was a female but then when I picked her up he was not entirely sure. I got her at 3 months old. She is now 4 months old. Tale base aside for this question, he/she is getting a lot of blue around her head and some down the sides. I have been told females can have coloration, but this is a lot of blue on the head. PLease let me know some thoughts.
Thanks!

any pics???
 
I know, I know, I really need pics. I have been having a heck of a time getting any good ones because he/she likes to run and hide from me. LOL!

Leo does the same thing :) We're just big scary monsters to them. The best pics I've gotten were when I've coerced him onto an orchid, and then taken him out of his cage. If you need any pointers on handling, ask Tom, but basically... just be about 10 times slower than you think you need to be, and put your face below theirs (they like to be above in every way), and slide your hand up from below and let them grab you. My guy is a jumper, so I put my comforter on the ground below him incase he decides to take a leap. He took a big fall and it really worried me (he's fine) so I make sure to never let that happen again!

LOL! OK so I think I have a male. I just looked at your Pics of Leo and my Nosy looks just like him with the same facial colorations. Leo just turned 5 months, and mine is 4 months. Being that they are brothers they look like carbon copies! I have not seen any crazy color flashes like you got though. LOL!
