That would be a great place to start. You can never go wrong with a Bee. If you are looking to breed sooner rather than later, you could probably pick up a 700g female that could be ready to breed next season for anywhere between $400-$600. If you don't mind waiting a few years for her to grow up, you could get a hatchling for about $250.
PS - get ready for an addiction... its a fun one!
Good luck, keep us posted.

Thanks for the price info! I might get a hatchling because the adults are a bit too pricey for me right now. I'm keeping my options open right now and there's an expo in May so hopefully I can grab a good specimen or two there.
