The reason I ask is that the market for albinos has gone down a significant amount and I'm seeing hatchling females for around $200 (give or take a few) and usually provens are no more than 2-3 times more than hatchlings. That's what I've been noticing with a lot of genes anyways. Please do correct me if I'm wrong😊

Depends on the weight of the snake, if she's a proven breeder, etc. If she's a big snake and she's laid good sized clutches, I'd say she's worth it.

Babies are less expensive because there's been no work put into them. A big, beautiful, proven breeder has had a lot of the hard work already taken care - she's been grown and fed and you know she's viable and immediately ready to put into a project.

depends on your plans...........

Supply and demand, it's a recessive gene, and we are in the beginning of breeding season therefore you won't see that many females like that around hence why the price can go back up a little.

Bottom line it's all about what someone is willing to pay for something they want bad enough.

No I was serious a proven adult Albino female is for sure worth that money if you like the snake and have the right plans.

I think so, wasn't long ago I bought a big proven female for 650 when I was vending at a show, I owned her before the doors even opened. I thought it was a steal, thus wasted no time.

She's not ready yet. She's only 900g. I appreciate all the responses.
