Spent a few days herpin and bug huntin in SW Missouri. I was disappointed that we only found one live t (and a few molts).Oh well, here he is in all his glory. Probably one of the best looking hentzi Ive seen.

No, actually I havent seen any mating in the wild. I would definitely like to, but the chances of that happening are few and far between, especially in a densely wooded area such as Missouri. But, I have my hopes up of course! :)

This MM A.Hentzi was caught in the wild by (Nature boy)....he is a gorgeous and looks to be very freshly molted, not one hair missing. I will be breeding him soon!!

I do too. I think he's a beautiful T. He is my daughter's favorite, she loves to hold him

I would either let him go or give him to someone that can breed him. Wouldnt want him to go to waste....

Now I really wouldn't say he is a waste. Not everyone just uses males to breed, they can also be pets as well.

Gorgeous fella you got there! If you do want to send him to breed, I have about a dozen hentzi females. I'd be more than happy to get him some action and get you and your daughter some babies. Just PM me on here ok? Again, lovely male! From the looks of him, he probably matured around 3-4 months ago.
