    Honestly, only YOU know the answer to your question.

    You know your financial situation better than we do. You also know your capabilities better than we do.

    Weigh out the pros and cons, and make an educated decision.

    - Do you have the resources to purchase tha animal, new equipment, more feeders, etc...(I believe you're waiting for pay day to buy a scale?)
    - Do you have money stashed away for vet visits? More animals = more potential for a trip to the vet
    - Are you sure you're ready for another?
    - With your limited experience will you be able to accurately assess the animal and it's health? (Keep in mind snakes are VERY good at hiding illness)
    - Do you have a place in your home for proper quarantine and are you familiar with the process?
    - is this an impulse buy or are you truly ready? And do you truly want THIS particular animal?

    This will be a 20 year commitment, so take your time to decide. If you decide to go for it, but the animal is already sold, it wasn't meant to be...

    These are just some of the questions you should be asking yourself.

    Good luck, keep us posted!!!!
