[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 107568, member: 1152"] Personally, I think they're worth what you want to pay for them. If you want to have a rare T that you can show off, then it might be worth the money. You have to consider that, by the time you grow this one up, find a male (or female) and possibly get some slings from it, the prices will have likely dropped MUCH lower. When you mention hybridization, [B]PLEASE [/B]tell me your not talking about breeding this one to another species. That would be incredibly irresponsible. If that's what you meant, please refrain from buying it. The prices are high because they are new to the hobby. In order for the prices to come down to more reasonable levels, folks need to breed them and produce [B]PURE[/B] slings. The last thing we need is someone purposely trying to pollute the gene pool of a species that's new to the hobby. That could potentially ruin this species for hobbyists wanting to keep them. I'm thinking I totally misunderstood what you were saying, so my apologies if that last paragraph doesn't apply. [/QUOTE]
