I don't actually own this ray. I have an opportunity to pick him up. He would be a nice breeder male for my group if his claspers grow back. I've never seen a ray with his claspers as badly damaged as his. Worth the chance??

wowzer . that got to be the toothiest bj ive ever seen

as far as i know the claspers are basically a rolled fin so with that in mind i would expect it would grow back a little but maybe not completely .
as for mating i dont see any reason he wont be able to get the job done once he's healed properly. i doubt that the claspers are inserted fully when attempting to breed anyhow so this guy might just have a slightly shorter stick to work with. ... that could make it easier for him in some respects though, instead of trying to hit a moving target with a jousting pole he just has to fire a pistol

a couple of other issues you might want to take into consideration regarding breeding him are that he seems to like a rough BJ from other guys

good luck

I would say its a 50/50 shot if he will be able to breed... Great lookin ray though. It may be worth a try

Tough call if he can breed or not. That's a lot of damage.

Im the owner of this ray and i can personally tell all of you that the claspers have been healing very well and have grown back (lengthened) alot compared to the original damage, but this is also the first time i have experienced this so i cant say for certain on future breeding,
