    Pinstripe Het. Albino Ball Python Value
    Hello everyone. I'm new here and new to the world of ball pythons and have a question about a morph I got in a trade a couple of weeks ago. I recieved a Female Pinstripe Het. Albino that weighs 300 grams, eats and sheds well, and I was wondering about how much it's worth. I've seen them go anywhere from $300 all the way up to $1500. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    If the prices in the US are similar to european, which I believe they are, I would say probably around $500. But the quallity of the animal is ofc important and a major factor for pricing.

    depends on several things.

    If you plan on selling it and it doesn't have paperwork backing the het albino claim, to me it's just a pinstripe and that's all I would value it at.
    If it has paperwork that the original breeder can back up, or the original breed can vouch for it being a het albino and can provide pictures of the clutch and pictures of the pairings , then the value would go up.

    We picked up a pinstripe het albino without paperwork for $200 as a hatchling, basically the price of a female pinstripe hatchling.
    The guy bought it at the local show as a pinstripe het albino and couldn't get it to eat, she's breeding for us now and we'll attempt to prove her out next season.

    Re: Pinstripe Het. Albino Ball Python Value
    Thank you everyone. No, I never got any paperwork on it but was wondering if DNA testing would count to prove it. Idk what that would cost but I don't imagine it'd be a whole lot. We did DNA testing in high school. If I could get this done would it count just as well as any paperwork from a breeder?

    The dna of ball pythons hasn't been mapped, there is no way to test their dna at this point.
    You'll find out when you breed it...
