    Butter or racks?

    Well I have been saving some money for a while now and I was really looking to get a butter or two but instead I decided to upgrade husbandry as my first step to a small group of BP's. So heres what I'm waiting for now:

    RBI
    Two RBI 32qt racks, belly heat, dividers(1 set)
    Sm/Md/Lg hides
    412 IR Thermometer
    7001DX Scale
    Chlorhexadine
    Hemostat

    BeanFarm
    Herpstat II
    Crocks (9.5,20)
    Aspen

    I believe I made the right choice of husbandry first. This also gives me the room to pick up new animals too. What do you think? Good decision?
    Thanks for looking, --Josh

    yes.. I think you made the right decision. Better to have a stable place to put the new animals (after proper quarentine) in then scramble for it after they have arrived. Looking forward to seeing pics.

    Glad to hear that you decided to put the husbandry first. Once you get your racks setup, you can start saving to fill them with your favorite morphs.

    Very smart choice, and as you said, it sets you up to pick up more BPs later down the line. Also, smart choice going with the RBI racks...I loves me some Rich. I just got my new RBI 32 Qt rack up and running this weekend.

    I second this!

    Plus it is always a great idea to get more caging for one simple reason... It makes for a great excuse to get more animals...

    Perfect husbandry is always more satisfying to me then new morphs (ok most of the time it is...)

    Always good to have an excuse! I do feel good about it but I'll feel better when its all set up and ready.
    Thanks Everyone, --Josh

    I FRIGGIN LOVE YOU!!!!!

    Everyone seems to always make spur of the moment decisions to buy instead of getting a setup first and I HATE that. I'm more of a fan of having your stuff together before running off and buying an animal, it causes too much stress moving them around. So yeah
