Re: Is it worth it????

Thanks everybody for the advice. Yeh, still thinking. The money isn't really a problem, I've got it.....it's just that I've NEVER spent that kind of money on any critter before. My most expensive animals was a Nosy Be Panther chameleon at $175. I haven't spent more then $50 on a snake before. Don't know, guess it just makes me nervous. One thing I do need to check is how the genetics work with these guys. If it's a codominant situation like flames and erythristic easterns..so that if I breed red radix to red radix, I'll get red radix, then it's worth it. But if it's a more complex thing where I have to worry about crosses and such, it's really not for me. I really like "natural" garters.....as pretty as all the crosses and such are, I really prefer what comes out of nature. I also don't like the idea that I won't be able to get an unrelated pair and will basically be getting brother and sister. Part of me is really thinking of waiting and seeing what else will come along. I think I'm a bit impatient and worried that I might be missing out on something really cool. Don't want to just get it, 'cause I'm afraid of missing out. Hmmm...think I need to sleep on this one.
