Post by Sanplec »

Hi everyone,

Couple of days ago I bought this beauty as a male for my lonely female.
Can you please confirm it is a male?

Well this is actually a surprise.
The seller was 100% sure that he'd be a male.

@ unungy: I haven't read about hairy females. Where can I find your article?
I'm curious.
