How can you tell a Black Beauty from a Gray? I have seen pictures and people say they are Black Beauties but, I am not usually able tell them apart from the grays. Is there a particular marking on them that is really noticeable?

Black Beauties are grays, but they have ticker, more defined markings....
They usually have thick eye rings that extend from their nose to their ear, black cuffs around thier wrist, often extending up their legs, and thick black dorsal stripes.

[:"green"]Black beauties also usually have a chin strap that extends under their chin from just below their ears and usually also have black markings on their fingers' knuckles. Attached is a picture of Carina, who is a black beauty, showing off her chin straps...
[:"green"]Yes, she does indeed look like she's a Black Beauty - she's gorgeous!!! Here's a picture of Adoni - one of the joeys Carina had last year. He's now owned by Khyricat and Wnoisephx... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" />

I used to have their pirate ship inside their cage but now I keep it out in the room as a playtime toy. It's nice because I can just clean it in the dishwasher when it gets dirty.
Cass is the darkest glider that I've ever seen. WOW!
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOOOO HOOOO, WHAT A RIDE!!!
Well here are newer photos of my boy Cosmo - taken today and he is 3.5 months old. Do you think he is a black beauty? Do only black beauties have chin straps?

Thank you! I was attracted to him because he was darker than the other standards there- though completely wild unlike the others - but didn't know what a black beauty was at the time.
