What do you think?

My name is Kristine and I just got my first BP about a month ago and all is going quite well currently. This is a dream come true to have a snake. Now to my question, my favorite of any animal has always been the albino of the species. I found a person in Canada who is selling Albinos from $400-800 depending on the age of the snake. Now I was wondering if this was something that was defiantly too good to be true? Has anyone dealt with anyone in Canada? There have been a few occasions where I have seen individuals selling their male albinos at around $800, so that is why I would like the opinion of people from this wonderful site. Thanks in advance.

400.00 -800.00 CAD is a little lower than the normal price.

This is actually in US currency, so is it even lower then?

Have you thought about the paperworks that are required and the fee of 500$ that you will have to pay since the seller is in Canada and you are in the US

Basically it would cost you more to buy it from a Canadian breeder than it would from a US breeder, plus you know what they say about deals that are too good to be true???

Im from Canada, who is the breeder, there are a couple really good breeders up here, now 400-800 is a good price i would say the average would be around 800-1000 range so not far off 400 is prob for a male. Let me knwo who the breeder is and ill fill ya in, if its markus jayne then your all set.

I did not know about the $500 fee that’s why I asked :) Thank you for letting me know about it. I guess it is something that I should not do, I guess I will have to find a 100% het female to go with my male. Any more opinions or information would be greatly appreciated. I thank all of you for your wonderful knowledge and the willingness to share with us n00bs :)

I could see that being het's but quality albinos are still 1000-1100 for 07 's here.
Try asking about the seller in the Canadian B.O.I.

if you get a female het albino, and breed her to your normal, the babies would be 50% possable hets. they all would look normal, but you have a 50/50 chance that one of the babies are het. it might be easier if you really like albinos, is to talk to a breeder and get on a payment plan. then a couple of months or saving and you have your very own albino.
