X2 tho it wouldn't stop me from buying. As long as his animals are healthy I feel you can care for your hobby and want to make money too. Look at Kevin for NERD, he makes some of the wildest combos and takes extremely good care of his animals but some of his prices are tru the roof. And as far as the breeding goes, the only reason I can see his logic is because you will eventually you will have multiple females, and buying a more valuable male will save you in the long run.
