Just say no=problem solved.

Might be a non-issue but you don't know what you get when you open the box.

Evaluate risk Vs reward...can you get it as a CB animal from a North American breeder or is it a "one of a kind in the country" animal..?

Is the discount worth the risk?

I would rather pay a few extra bucks to get something hand raised in a local basement before I get something direct from New Guinea.

My $0.02

haha! I meant compared to other Irian jayas. I would even say for wild caught imports 140 is expensive but hey.. they do look unique. Might want to breed one to my male and see what happens.
