    I have no idea what he is, but if you don't want him I do!

    He has an insane amount of blushing and awesome color. I know nothing about Russos, so I can't help you there. I can say I don't see black pastel in him.

    Russo's have clean/clear bellies, flames, and more solid markings like your other one. Some have very minimal blushing on top. That doesn't really look much like a Russo but it could be if the belly is clean.

    Thanks Gale, but whatever the real situation is with this guy..hes a keeper for sure. Definately something im gonna play around with.
    Nice and clean belly. He has mostly a Russo look but at the same time ive never seen a russo with such exaggerated features like his.

    Re: What is this guy???

    To me that one looks more like a Russo than the one you posted with it. But I could be biased because I have one that looks just like it

    His belly is clean and the flames are there full blast. It probably is a Russo.

    Oh and sorry mods for hot linking that photo
