I would wait. Keep that money set a side and think about what you really want and what combinations you want to produce. I think if you ask anyone who breeds, they can share a story or two where they bought snakes that they would rather have waited on. For me, I bought 5 females that I wish I hadn't. They are good eaters, have all produced for me, but I want to keep my collection small, so now I need to sell them to keep more of the cool hatchlings I produced this year. Overall, I think it is better to wait, and only buy snakes you think you really can't pass up. Get a long term plan together and stick to it. It will really help and let you keep the animals you like the most. Don't buy just to fill up rack space. You could pick up another male in about 9 months to a year and be in a very good position, and prices are only coming down with time.
