Wow, it sounds like you'd get a lot for your money w/the 1st time buyer's special pr. Kuda's. They don't have much info on the website about this new line. If I were you I'd email or call OR to see max size & temp range. I read that there are so many different species commonly called 'kuda', that it's hard to know what type you're looking at when that name is used. If you can afford it, I loved my erectus. Without more specific info from OR I can't really give you my opinion, because the 'kudas' they have may be totally different from the 'kudas' other hobbyists have experience with...
