I think I'll jump in here and say that this conversation has went a bit out of hand. For a quality animal expect to pay 300+. Mike C. on the MVF (use google) sells CBB animals for 350-400 shipped. Jon Healy sold me my last guy for 350 shipped (search). However, I have paid over a lot for one and I have linage on him along with compete records from Rico. I really suggest buying an older one because this is not a very forgiving species. Everyone says they want to see the change, but you'll be just as happy without it. It takes time to find the deal you want, so don't rush into anything. I looked forever for a nice sorong/jaya type and finally found one at a good price range. MVF is going to really be your best bet on quality animals and info. Please, don't be some macho for us. Ask any questions you have, if you're not comfortable posting them PM me. This site is about responsible owners and it seems that everyone is trying to point that out, but in the wrong fashion. Sorry for offending anyone, but this really has gone a bit overboard.
