life is too short...go for it!

You should really consider getting the female first. It takes much longer to get a female ready for breeding than a male. Then you'd still have another year or two to save up for a male of your choice. ;)

well i am not going to get the female longer than 5-6 months after i get the male. Like i said, i am getting the second job in December or January, i'll have enough money for her a few months after that.

if it's only a matter of a few months like you said in your above post (not the quoted one - i know it's confusing LOL)... i'd definitely go with the "give adam a deposit" to hold the pair of your choice... get that female growing up for ya in the meantime... and have them both delivered to ya in 6 months!!!

AND if you don't get the second job... i'm quite sure adam will let you put the deposit on paying for the male in full and send it to ya pronto!

Congrats! I know whatever decision you make will be the right one for you.


If I had the option to do things over again, I'd follow some of the great advice given in this post and earlier posts - buy female recessives first and grow up for at least a year before you buy the male. Unless of course, you get an awesome pair price . . . .:) I've got some awesome het males (clown from Sean and Celia with Exotics By Nature and Caramel albino from John Piro) that I don't have adult females ready for them yet. So unless I can find some friends close by that can use them this year (Nate? Audrey? others?) in a breeder loan, they will be setting around twidling their thumbs. :D

Good luck and post pics soon!
