i was looking around the web today and looking at my own personal turts of past and present. has anybody or does anybody have a FEMALE ttbt with white facial coloration? of my two current females penelope has a little bit of orange on her lower jaw, where as penny has a few vivid orange red markings on her cheaks and face. my male has alot of coloration but has very pernounced black and white bars on his face...
also looking back to previous females and males that have left my home no females had white while both of the two previous males did.
so im putting it out there do you have a female with white coloring? if not it would be interesting to see if this was a strickly male attribute of which i currently believe... hmm the questions of the day : )

I responded to your posting in the other forum. Yes, female three-toeds can have white on their faces neck and forelimbs.
