Would you get him?

[Lolo76]

Sorry, I have another "is he worth it?" question, LOL... I didn't end up getting the Cinnamon I'd mentioned earlier (just got too complicated), so I'm still looking for another BP. I found this ad on Kingsnake for a male albino, and the breeder said he'd only be $430 including shipping - and he'll throw in an '09 Het female for $100 or '08 Het for $150. Here's a picture of the albino, and I'm wondering if this sounds like a good deal? I think he's absolutely beautiful, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything before spending the dough. TIA!

its all up to you how much your willing to pay.

i personally think that price is.. "average, or fair"
we got a female for 600 last year.
its just what your willing to pay.

you could prob get a co-dom if your patient n look around. i saw pewters for 600 and bees for 550 not to long ago. there are some sic deals out there, u just gotta be on top of it cuz peeps grab them up real quick. and either way the true question in the end is would YOU buy it? not us..... we're not the ones seeing it everyday and taking care of it. buy what you like

Hey there, I thought of you and that snake today. I think it was Prundedale you mentioned, which we drove past (near Hollister?) on our way here to East Bay. We're visiting my snake-terrified brother for the weekend. Bummer that it didn't work out with the cinny (what complications?), but I hope you find what you're looking for.

Yeah, I know... but since I have an "untrained eye" (and limited knowledge on pricing), it's nice to get a second opinion. I've also been looking at Lessers and Mojaves, but I've always been fascinated by the albinos - so breeding possibilities aside, it's definitely a morph I want in my collection!

Thanks! The cinny breeder did try to meet up with me, but we kept missing each other on the phone (and email)... I last emailed asking if she was free tonight, and didn't hear back in time - yet again. So I figure it's just not meant to be, LOL.

Okay, never mind... I'm back to dreaming about Mojaves and Lessers, which seems to be where my mind always goes. So I should probably get one of those morphs first! Gee, can you tell I'm a Libra?

I found one Mojo I really like on KS, and he's $225 shipped... he has a lot of blushing/white for a Mojave, no?


There's also this guy (on the bottom) for only $150 - love the stripe, but not sure about the coloring:

They're not overly light for a mojave, pretty much normal. They can get alot lighter. Like everyone is going to tell you, it's all going to be up to you. Come people like light mojaves, some people like dark ones. Just like with spiders and pieds, half like low white, half like high white. Generally from what I've seen though is anything with high white/more blushing is going to be more expensive. Find a snake YOU love, then judge if the price is fair.

[Elise.m]

I personally LOVE mojaves, and that one with the long stripe is hot imo. I'd be willing to pay $150 for him.

I like the albino.....and I'd offer the guy a set price for everything....the bino, the het female, and shipping.
