I've read, though, that boys can look like girls until their first molt at 6-9 months of age. This is what they told me at the pet shop, too. She's three months old right now, and was only weaned a week ago. Is this not true?
It is true. ILoveMyAbbyGirl's Charlie TOTALLY looked like a female when she got him, but now he's brightened up, and almost positively, a boy. They all look like females as babies. Unless you get them DNA sexed, its hard to know for sure until after their first molt.
