I have purchased adult breeder size females, but only from people I know and I know why they are selling them. Right now, as Wolfy said, many breeders are replacing their normal breeder females with morphs (pastels, bees, etc.) so it is easier to pick up a good breeder than it has been in the past. I do know that picky eating females and ones who haven't dropped eggs after a couple of breedings are usually sold off so let the buyer beware . . . .
