I paid $1400 for a pair of spiders, and $1000 for a trio of pastels, so that I could make bees, because bees were a lot more.
Last year I got a bee for $800, and from the two clutches that I had this year (from spider x pastel and pastel x spider) I hatched out NO bees. If there is a morph you like but can't afford, save up enough money to buy it, and by that time you'll be able to afford a pair! Ha ha!!
