LOL $300 is a lot of money to me too. I have some butter project snakes, and might get to breed some butter stripes some day...
What seems like chump change to some is an arm and a leg to others. Luckily one can always get hets and work on producing some of the more expensive stuff. I really feel in a way if you have to work, worry, and wait to produce a morph you will appreciate it that much more than someone who can afford to just go ahead and buy everything there is to be bought.
