    Re: Buying online vs Show

    Is there any inherent benefit of male vs female? Seems like most of the females are a little more expensive.....I think they generally get a little bigger ...any other pros/cons of the two?

    Females are gernally more $ for breeding project purposes. As pets, it makes no difference.

    Females on average tend to be better feeders (from what I've been told). and in BPs, being a good feeder is a plus lol. That is another question to ask a breeder... and if you're choosing between similar animals, similar ages, go with the bigger one that eats better. I've had my BPs go on hunger strikes for weeks and even months at a time and it is no fun. Anything you can to do avoid that and get an animal that feeds well and consistently is a good thing.
