i wouldnt make any impulse buys if i were you.... i learned this the hard-way.

but, you should ask these questions...

1) what kind of dwarf?
2) who from?
3) wc or cb?
4) is it eating f/t, f/k or live prey?
5) if wc, does it have good weight?
6) has it been deparasitized?

i know of some people selling cb jamps for $300-$400, sometimes cheaper - still kind of debatable, cb jampeas are growing up to 15ft, and jampea crosses up to 16ft - should this be considered a dwarf? thats up to you to decide.

all superdwarfs being imported do have the jampea look to them... i would personally stay away from them - as they are a high-cash market for the "big boys", and also wc/ltc "dwarfs/superdwarfs" have i high mortality rate (not many survive even when acclimated, but a lot do survive).

i made a high dollar purchase on some dwarf crosses - and have since traded them to someone who had more faith in the dwarf project than me...
all the offsping from my stock that are "dwarf"- i will labal them as "XY% dwarf type".


example, when i breed my 0.1 superjamp to my 1.0 albino tiger, i will call the offspring " 50% dwarf type tiger phase, 100% het albino (superjampXalbino tiger)"....

i am hoping that this will not misslead people into believing that these animals will stay under 12ft - because they wont if you feed them properly.

...just my 2 cents.
