    Question Albino price tag.

    Ok, im going to be getting some snakes here within the month and i was wondering the price of albinos. Ive never looked at their prices so i thought this would be a great place to start. I plan on getting a bumblebee male, pastel female, and a female lesser. But, i would like to switch out the pastel for an albino if they arent too expensive. I would really like to produce spiders, pastels, bees etc. that are het albino.

    Re: Albino price tag.

    The quickest way to get the albino hets you're looking for would be to purchase a male albino to breed to a female spider, pastel, etc. Albino males sell for around $300 based on size. Purchasing a female albino will also be beneficial to have her ready to breed the het albinos you will produce back to her. Females sell for around $400, but I imagine you can get a pair of albinos for around $600+shipping. That would be a good start, but remember females take longer to become breeders, so it's good to start with them first.

    yeah i would like to get yearling females even if they are a little more expensive so they will be ready to breed when the male is. Im not in a big rush to start breeding them right now anyway. maybe start next year or the year after. And i would really like to see an albino bee. and with the lesser i have a chance to hit on that queen bee! thanks for the reply.

    Albinos are everywhere and sellers will be motivated to sell pairs since they are recessive. I would say $500-600 a pair is reasonable. For yearlings you might be looking at $1000 or so.

    Also if i can give you any tips, REALLY REALLY think about what morphs you want and the direction you want to go. Then again you probably already know this and how hard of a decision it is picking morphs!

    Yeah it is SUPER hard to pick only 3 morphs to start with. Im definantly getting the bee and lesser. I was looking at some bumblebellys and they are AMAZING!! and VMS Herps have a female yellow belly het. Ivory for $175 which is way cheaper than an albino so im leaning towards that. I would like to produce some bumblebellys then breed that back to the lesser to produce yellow belly queen bees which would also be cool. Oh my god! I just cant stop thinking about it its driving me CRAZY hahaha

    If you like to know about the price, every breeder's website will have that listed if they have the morph available. And of course, kingsnake.com is another source. But remember this, if a deal is too good to be true, it probably is. GL shopping!
