Ok, here's the deal: I have the opportunity to pick up a breeding pair of adult Creamsicle corn snakes for $150 in August.

1- Is this as good a deal as I think it is?

2- I know Creamsicles are a hybrid corn/rat. Can they only breed with other creams or can I get good offspring breeding them with my other corns?

3- Should I just not get new snakes now, avoiding having to give up one of my current snakes, and spend the money (it's rare to have extra around here) on a Herpstat and Ranco for my incubator and hatchling rack?

Please give me all the input you can... I am totally stuck as to what to do here.
