Nope.

I did get a email though from someone not sure if it was from FHLover, but had a similar name. He/She wanted to know if I wanted to sell him. :screwy:

So what breeder did you get him from? RT's with heads are hard to find.

If he's fertile $599 is a good deal!

If he is aggressive, at 12 inches you will have a hard time pairing him up. That may be why the breeder sold him.

Yeah, he is VERY aggressive. I may still give it a shot though.

Thanks,

His price is high due to the size of his head, the intense red coloration (which is almost back to normal now), and the pearling over the body.

I couldn't tell you what makes a RT, maybe Dan or someone else can.
