There is nothing wrong with buying tateshita tosai for experimenting or keeping as pet. Knowing what one getting into is the power of knowledge. MA.Le
Hah, you are so wrong, very few are male and they all have skin quality, pattern, confirmation and sheen. I don't know where you get your information, but I am sorry that you understand it to be this way.

BTW, they are all coming with certificates that will state male or female, birthdate and parents(Bloodline). Hoshikin would have kept all of these in a mud pond.
