If it's healthy and not improperly fed or housed.. maybe.. problem is at 2.5 feet the "cuteness" of them wears off and the reality of the money sink they are sets in. I'de be more concerned about finding one a good long-term home, as most zoos and public establishmenst have more then they could ever want donated. as a buyer if I had the room/set-up to house it. 100$ is a fair price, though it's not to hard to find them that size for free.
