I have two leopards and honestly don’t think the experience having them would make keeping a Choati any easier.
With Choati it seems either you get one that acclimates well and handled the stress of capture and transpiration to the states well… or you don’t. Sometimes they look great and act normal and just die 6 months in. If you get one that works the first time. Great! If not, well you may have deep pockets and can keep trying.
Thing is that the other leopards are fairly simple to keep. My LFS can even do it. They don’t seem to be on the same level.
If you have an established and mature tank and an acclimation plan and lots of live foods on hand. If you want to try a Choati then go for it. Owning a different leopard isn’t going to make a difference imo.
