I know the shop you are talking about and for your sake I highly suggest hitting up the expo coming up next month (March 2nd) in Kansas City. I'm sure you will be able to find a VERY healthy and most likely less expensive lesser there. You might even find another morph you like even more for around the same price. You can usually find great prices there and many of the breeders are willing to make a deal, especially on a single gene male. And just a reminder if you've never been to an expo, "internet pricing" and "expo pricing" can vary greatly. For example: male clowns were going for $450-$500 at the january one. I bet you could find a lesser male (if available) in the $100-$150 range. Maybe even less.

Heres a link for the expo
