LOL yea I'd just hate to see some one go through the learning curve of a first time snake owner (that we all went through no matter how long a go), With such a hefty investment. I mean there's a reason drivers Ed. cars are 4 door POS's.
To the OP the only reason I suggested a less expensive morph is because once you have the husbandry down yo can really start to enjoy the worry free enjoyment of owning a snake. You want to be able to fully enjoy a Pied or even a Normal with out the constant worry of "Am I doing this right".
