    Bumblebee question.
    Hey all I have the opportunity to buy this bumblebee Male for $300. Do you think I should grab him up? He is a 2012 born last month.

    The only hesitation I have is the the big once a year reptile expo is in September with over 100 vendors. Do you think I should hold off till the expo or pick this guy up?

    If YOU like it and feel he is the one I would say yes, I generally know when I see an animal if he is the one I want or if he is ok but I can do better.

    I have bought animals before shows knowing that at shows I would have more choices but also knowing that the animal I was purchasing was the right one for my plans.

    Thats the thing though I really do like him a lot. But its such a big expo. But every expo I have went to so far out of all of them there has been 1 bee and he was really brown sso it was a no go.


    But then again I ask my self and I say the bee I want in my eyes is one that has really bright clean yellow and a lot of white on its sides.

    But for some reason I like this little guy.

    The upcoming show will be a monster with all sorts of 2012 stuff. I personally guarantee there will be more than one bee lol.

    Ok after some deep thought I guess it would be better off to wait till the expo. Its just I really want a bee lol. But yes the question is do I want this bee because I really want one right now and I have the money to buy it.

    I dunno

    I think I might hold off till the big expo.


    and Kyle since you personally guarantee that I will find one at the expo I think we should make a bet on it lol.

    It sounds like you know what you are looking for in a bee and this guy doesn't fit that description. I say if you know what it is you are looking for don't settle for anything less.

    EDIT: Lol... You decided right before I posted. :)

    Yah thanks Andy your right I do have it set in my mind what I want and I should settle for less.

    I am really bad at making impulse buys if I have the money.

    I really should hold off till this expo.

    I love you guys lol. Always helping me out :P

    300 is not bad. Sometimes shows have sick snakes.

    No guarantee what you want will be at the expo. The one in the picture almost looks like it shedding with the pink belly, but I may be imagining that. I was the same way when I wanted to get a bee. I actually got 2 and then realized I liked one way more than the other one and ended up selling one for a loss just to move it.

    It always sucks when you are looking for a specific one and you have to wait. I really want a female lesser or lesser platinum and it looks like will have to wait until next year to find one at a reasonable prices in MD.

    Lesser and lesser platinum are the same. Lesser is jus shorter to say.
