Uhm, just remember, especially with GTPs, you get what you pay for. "Cheap" does not always mean "inexpensive" because that little baby that you got for such a deal is probably wild caught, not feeding, barely shed, and probably parasitized. If it were me, id spend my $550 on ONE CBB hatchling or neonate that is PROVEN CBB, pix of parents, pix of eggs, feeding, shedding, etc.

The "cheap" GTPs are usually problems in the long run, sometimes they die unexpectedly after two to three years and nobody knows why.

Save your money and get something nice.

Thanks for all the info and I probly will spend $500 on a really nice one but in the long run when I breed them it will be its own reward.
