Rio Tocantins Vampire

Post by toddpole »

Hello! My LFS was selling this labeled as a "Rio Tocantins Vampire" and while I've found several L numbers that may fit the bill, none of them are quite exact (at least to my fairly inexperienced eyes).
I've had him for about 6 months now and he's grown maybe a centimeter

Hi

I agree with Eric, plus the L-Number you might have been looking for is L 7.
