Kind of an odd question, my male p. motoro has verry verry small clasper i think for his size, hes 6 inches and mabye .5 inch claspers. Saw a retic today at LFS and its claspers were huge at like 1.5 inches wile the ray was only 4 inch disk. Is this normal or did my p motoro get the short stick?
 
reticulated rays get mature at much smaller sizes, your motoro will mature around 9-10" He will then not have the "short sticks" anymore...
 
You should see some leo or jag claspers... it is pretty funny when they do not mature until around 14+ inches and a little 6" reticulated ray has 10x the claspers of the unmature rays.
