    For a hatchling, maybe $1200. Depends on gender and who's selling it.

    $1600-$1800+ from a reputable, known breeder. Personally I consider that a little low since it's hard to even find albino's from good breeders. Typically they disappear shortly after the breeding season is over.

    $1200 is extremely low and I would question the quality of an albino being sold that low.

    Aside from eating well and gaining weight, how does one evaluate the quality of an albino? What do you look for?

    Chris, thank you for not posting photo shopped pics.,I have seen way to many shopped pics. and they dont give the true look of the sudject. :)

    I also will not enter the discussion of albino prices and the quality available.
    its not right saying that because an albino is priced lower, that it is of inferior quality! :mad:

    Is this an inappropriate question? My intent is not to bait, or to provoke criticism of one breeder vs. another, but to improve my understanding, thus allowing me to make better decisions as I continue to acquire stock over the next few years.

    Is it impossible to speak objectively of the different traits you seek out or avoid without invoking certain names?

    Re: Post your albinos!
    Actually, I dont find anything wrong with your question, I actually think it's a good one ;).....are you asking what to look for as far as health and whether its a quality animal? or are you asking what traits to look for in a neonate Albino, that will translate into a real nice adult specimen?
