You could significantly reduce up front cost and get the same chances by breeding a bumble bee (Pastel x Spider) to a Lesser. Your in the game for probably $1500 or so if you are not out looking for quality and probably $2000 if you find some better specimens in the current market. Additionally you can actually have the satisfaction of making something better yourself if the odds hit good and you get a queen bee. One other consideration is not only the lower up front cost, but all your eggs are not in one basket so to speak. If an accident does occure and a snake is hurt your only out one side of the equation and not left with normals only. (Not that anything is wrong with normals.)
