Nice sized females are nice... but if you can get some sharp looking hatchlings and you know you are committed to raising them up, then go for it.
We all have to start with babes at some point. That is half the fun, it is nice having the older females, but raising up your snake and letting her take her time to get to where you want her is very rewarding as well.
I am hoping to get a bag of CH girls next year, and am looking forward to raising the babes up, and this year I will hold back all my female hatchlings as well.
