Ah temptations, temptations, whatever shall I do.

Do you think I should buy 17 more? I can get 17 which includes 1.2 tremper albinos, 1.0 rainwater albinos,(proven breeders), the rest are normals Some proven breeders and some juveniles. The price for all would be $300.00. It would be a big start toward getting into breeding for a pet store I'll be opening soon. Seems like a good price but would also mean I would have to get a rack system built ASAP. Hubby doesn't seem to keen on the idea, but my mom said she will loan me the money. Ah temptations, temptations, whatever shall I do. Oh well I will just pray about it and see what happens. Always seems to work out fine when I do things that way. Thanks for helping, Could you just advise maybe if that is a good price? Thanks.

Is the 17 of them comeing from another breeder??As far as a good price id say its about right. If there all healthy and can produce for you next year then yeah go for it. Make sure you have a couple males and not like the whole lot being males.Cause you only need one male per about 10 females. Just to give you an idea on price im buying five leos for $225. Good luck in your desicion.

Thanks Rept.Freak, Yeah there are some proven breeders. Like the 1.2 tremper albinos and the 1.0 rainwater albino are all proven. Also some of the normals are proven, I'm not sure how many of them, He does say they are excellent quality normals. The guy selling them is getting into a different line and wants to let these go. Any other feedback and opinions would be very welcome. Thanx all.

Sounds like a big leap to me. I think you should buy leos as you gain experience. You're able to love them more for the individual personalities they have when you acquire them one by one. Plus you'll end up with a better overall collection when it's been hand-selected. Bargains will come and go. There's really no point in buying that many unless you were planning to resell them. You only need one pair to produce a ton of eggs.
