Sorry to hear that I didn't work out for you. However, as others have stated, you win some, you lose some. I have had great successes by getting involved prior to usual human involvement. What I think is good about this, is that you were able to gain some great experience early in your involvement in the hobby. The more things you see and get under your belt, the more apt you are to deal with the rarities that can occur with these animals.

Great effort,
