Steve and Peterra, thank you! Let me see if I can get a tail underside shot. At first I was thinking female, due to size and heft, but later, my rough guess on the tail seemed more like a male. But I also have zero experience with that other than comparing to internet photos. The cool thing is we had a backup plan to switch to 'Randelle' if we found otherwise on male/female

Until I can get that tail shot...here are a couple others from our pre-brumation photo session the other night...
