    So nervous, hope I'm making the right decision

    Well never thought I'd pay 900.oo for a snale or any other animal, but I guess I'm taking the plunge. Jigsaw blast male to try my hand at breeding with bumble bee and lesser females.

    Re: So nervous, hope I'm making the right decision

    Heh,

    I remember that feeling of panic when I paid just under £800 for my little lesser boy.

    I was like a cat on a hot tin roof until he was safely in the QT tub digesting his first meal.

    Wowee! I think the most we have spent so far was $500 on one and that made me sick for a while, lol.

    I know the feeling! I just spent $900.00 on two animals and while waiting for shipping, every noise made me jump out of my chair. It was a HUGE investment for me so I understand the stress.

    Well, I struggled with the notion of spending $250 on my super pastel/pastel last week so I feel your pain (on a different level, of course). Having said that, I saw the photo if the jigsaw blast you posted the other day. Very cool looking snake! I can't wait to see more photos when you get him.

    Re: So nervous, hope I'm making the right decision

    With our first "high end" purchase I was so sure he was perfect that I didn't bat than eyelash. I researched and shopped for the perfect example for 3 months though lol. This was around $1500 for a super pastel butter. I actually got him much cheaper, $1050 but I was prepared to pay the full amount.

    First $5k+ high end purchase was about a week ago... it has honestly been the most relaxed purchase to date for us. Spend enough money with the right person and you will get the finest quality available, guaranteed. Big purchases are the most relaxing. It's the little ones that bite you. haha... no pun intended.
