CRR, you've posted quite a few of these, "we have the opportunity to buy" threads in the last month or so. Have you ever stated what your goal is for breeding BPs, or are you a collector, not a breeder. If you have previously posted this info, I'm sorry for missing it. Knowing what your goals are would certainly help in the rating process. To be perfectly honest, I think the worst reason to purchase a snake is because you have the opportunity to buy it. You should buy any BP because it is what you want, or because it fits into your breeding plans.
