I had a couple years ago, better off with a big tarantula if you want something to sit there and do nowt.
There is some nice colours available in the ceratophrys types though, I think its the fantasy ones which are a cross?
For a proper legit captive bred and rung goldie I'd say your looking at 50 - 60 quid upwards. Peas and chevs are obviously dearer but I've seen travelling lads wanting hundreds for a bird because of its song, could be a mp3 player wrapped up in a pillowcase though ?
Makes me laugh all these dirty old farts going over there with a missus at home thinking he's just gone a lads drinking holiday and a bit of siam carp fishing and the other sad bellends sending money over to their "girlfriend " who will have had another cock in her mouth before he boarded the flight.
I wouldn't say there is any cons? Most raza you see though are mongrelly irish crosses, proper raza are tiny things. I prefer the smaller type canaries myself, always active and agile.
Lots of lads say take it out but I would leave it in in the aviary, my goldie goes straight back down in the same nest. Takes a lot of work building that nest.
I've heard dirty old men from round here who go regular to Thailand comment on how good the bjs are, blokes know what a bloke likes so that's why they're so good at it ??
Its basically the same as that but I used an old water butt, if I want to drain the shite out of the filter I can open the tap. I could drain most of the pond out through it too as its a little fountain type pump at the bottom of the ibc running it all into the filter. It's not pretty but it does the job.
