It looks like she's running and ready to take off in flight.

Mica;
Your staff has done an excellant job of letting the dragon play and fly!;  Good size in relation to the new body.  Does she have a name?  I can't wait to see the Mule.

Okay, I finally got around to doing some web searches, even checked with a knowledgeable friend, and have yet to find anything relating number of tails to gender.
 
It was a good answer (to a mostly sarcastic question), but Im not buying it without further corroboration.
 
(and if it's going to be lengthy, we should probably get it out of Factory to Customer)

Hmmmmm ...I think male dragons have four wings: 2 big ones and 2 smaller. The smaller ones could be placed further up the neck as far as behind the ears of the dragon ...com'on brothers ...common knowledge in fantasy-land LOL

It's the Color!!!
 
Bronze and Brown are male, and Gold, Green, and Blue are female. Only the Golds lay eggs, though.
