Ummmmm... I would at least take it very much into consideration. I thought BPs were going to be easy and it's harder than I thought and I did a TON of reading beforehand. Bloods from my understanding are a little more high maintenance and will require a larger final enclosure because of how heavy bodied they are. They also can have a slightly more grumpy personality. But they are beautiful, no argument there. I would at least make sure to have an expert available to answer questions and supervise.
