I made a massive mistake...

[Bogertophis]

Everywhere I looked the wait times were going to be months, and I did not feel comfortable, with what little money I had, paying up to half a grand for an item I wasn't going to see for such a long time that I'd have to make a second temporary enclosure due to the main one taking so long. But clearly I made the stupid choice anyway.

There's a good old saying: Buy in haste, regret at leisure.

We've all made mistakes in life...the way to make better ones is to learn from the ones you make. You might try to re-sell this whole mess- you'll lose some $ but not all.
