Female albino $800?

There's a huge difference between a ready to breed female and a 900 gram female. That 900 gram female might not breed till next season. Be aware of the 1000 gram wall lol.

Besides size, I'd also look at color - is she high contrast? Pattern? Is she a stunning example of albino? I tend to pay more for the best examples of the gene because I selectively breed. I also price higher for selectively bred animals that are the best representations of their gene.

Sorry. I was looking into purchasing one and the seller told me that ready to breed albinos were worth $800, so he'd sell me a 900g for $400. I was just wondering how true that was.

It's true if that's the value the seller puts on it, for him to let her go. If he can make more money by keeping her and breeding her, then he's decided that's his "let go of her" price.

It wasn't too many years ago that NORMAL breedable females were selling for over $1000 because of the money that could be made just breeding multigene animals to her.
