Actually it would be more worth your time to buy a moderately priced animal, not a rare highly sought after one. If it's all about the money, it would be more cost efficient to start with spiders and pastels, make bees and sell them. Rather than buy a $5,000 animal who will loose half it's value in a few years. Remember how much a spider cost a few years ago?

^^ and what is that, I thought we were talking about balls here?
