I know the feeling! I wanted one for a very long time, and finally just DID IT past March. Got myself a pretty female, and have been keepin' her well fed, warm and handled often. Well, I have also gotten interested in the breeding side of it all, so have been looking at getting a male for next years cycle. I figured , if I'm getting one , lets get a morph so there is a practical goal to reach as well. I found out they are quite expensive for a hobby, but just kept looking. Last week, going through anther sites classified, come upon an ad for two 50% het Pieds (my favorite). I read the ad,even though figuring it would be out of my range, and came to the price........ are you ready?!.......... $100 + shipping for BOTH!!!!!! I hit the 'Contact Me' button right then, and let him know I wanted them, if he still had them!! Luck woud have it, he did, I paid, and as we speak (I write) there is a UPS truck driving around Toledo with TWO snakes in a box with my name on it!!! I can't wait to get home from work. I don't seem too excited do I??
