I would fourth on getting a baby, I got my girl as a sub-adult/adult and while wonderfully sweet, when she makes up her mind that she's gonna do what SHE wants, she can be a real pain in the butt. It took me a little bit longer to figure out the best ways to remove her when she grabs hold of something (or someone!) and how to get her in and out of her tank when her weight started getting measured in pounds, not grams. And trust me, they'll hit their "growth spurt" and grow FAST; from June to November Satin jumped from 3lbs to 5.5lbs and gained a foot and a half!
