I will have some hets available in a bit, and I sure hope no one takes THAT advice (to only buy from big breeders)--I've only been in business for a couple of years, lol. They'll come with paperwork of course.
I think I would probably price a spider het for albino at about $900, but that's prior to actually checking the market. That's the only way I've really found to price out combo morphs. If no one has one available...well, you have to go out on a limb, and realize that YOU may be setting the price for others. And don't expect to charge as much as NERD or BHB. People will pay for the name with those guys. They've earned it, after all.

I think you have good intentions but as others have pointed out, there are plenty of small scale hobbyist breeders who are just as legit and sell just as high quality animals as BHB or NERD.
If anything, the smaller guys have to work even harder to make that sale competing with the larger companies. So they have even more incentive to provide legit hets and high quality animals.

Paperwork is nice if it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling that you did not just throw away $$$$$$ on a normal, however, nice paperwork could just mean the seller is computer savvy. Paperwork is worthless without a photo, and is only as good as the breeder's reputation. How good is CRE's paperwork and guarantee...remember them, sellers of a ton of Het Pieds back 4 or 5 years ago...?

Hey chris,
I noticed that you have an albino in your group... Does that mean that someone shouldnt buy any hets from you down the road? Not everybody lies about their genetics :gj:
