With some patience and a little luck you might produce a first combo on the cheap. I think I have a total of $150 purchase price in ALL the ancestors of my chocolate pastel spider yb. The only one I bought was the founder Garcia chocolate at a pet store and the rest where from breeder loans that sprang out of that find. Wait, I think there was another normal female ancestor I bought, don’t remember how much, maybe another $125 as that was what they went for back then. Of course it took me about a decade.
