Sorry, I just can't stop picturing this in my mind.

It's a pity that you don't have any pics to show us.

I have a theory on Congo puffers and therefore my Biscuit I consider a male and Orangetta a female. I also consider my Baileyi a female. Sometimes you just get a "feeling" ..... and sometimes you just name them, whether they truly be male or female.

I origionally thought Vicious as a boy, then thought it was kind of a 'unisex' name... but I don't know. If it turns out Vicious is a Girl, I might change it to Vixen, or something...
