Still new to all this so trying to learn as much as I can. Is this male mature? Pardon the porn...

He is around 9" disc. Does anyone have a pic of what a mature male looks like?

Meat gazers........ :screwy:

:ROFL:

Looks mature to me... ;)
 
My rays are all wild caught so not sure their ages, but they are starting to look the part.

Only time will tell if they know what to do with them. On here it seems like everyone is having pups, but I'm not sure it's that easy for everyone...

My one male looked mature for a very long time and he was only 7 inches or so. Heck my leo has the largest claspers but only recently have I seen anything from him breeding wise. I agree with the others it's mostly about time to grow and mature vs how the claspers look. He looks good. Give him some time and do everything right and try to show patients which is the hardest part. I thought my male who showed the most action was too small at first for my large female but he proved me wrong. You should be getting close though he is about the right size.

Looks mature to me as well. Marble Motoros are weird like that. I've seen my fair share of fully rolled claspers on rays under 10". Maybe you've got a "mini" marble on your hands.
