Haha. It ain't pretty is it! apparently he's toned it down a bit now. did it for the first three days and has kept it under wraps since. so fingers crossed he keeps it that way most of the time.

Holy ****! That thing is half his body size?! I feel a bit queasy... That's not pretty. Not pretty at all lol

Damn you morbid fascination, I just looked again. That is grim I know it's nature etc but I've never seen anything like that in my life lol that's enough, no more lol

Once seen, never forgotten. :D It's when you see it that you know you definitely have a male :D

To be fair, as they grow out of the hormonal teenager stage you see it less often. Joe 'only' has his out when he's mating... with the watering can/slug pub/flower pot/trainer/drain cover/...

After my males do this for the first time, they tend not to do it again or do it on a very infrequent basis.

Henry does this quite a bit, Im sure all males are different as far as how often this happens
