Did Albino Balls get super expensive for some reason?

I havent confirmed how much Albino Ball pythons go for at snake shows, but I was looking on Constrictors Unlimited and Theyre selling Albinos for like 500 Dollars. I was almost positive Albinos generally ran between 100-150. Is this not the case?

I have yet to see an albino ball python go for $100-150. Males are generally around $350 and females are anywhere between $400-500.

I think males are usually in the 300 range and females are 400-500.

the cheapest ive seen is 275

Jesus. Maybe I was thinking of a different morph @_@. I didnt realize Albinos were so pricey.

Agreed. Males ~300 females ~400-500. Those are genetic banded albinos that I have seen.

A good high contrast Albino female would go for $500.

Actually, for a recessive animal, those prices are quite reasonable. As little as a few years ago, albino's were selling for well over $1000.

Maybe You was thinking about hets:weirdface????
Visual albinos.. They goin between 400-500 $

I was going back through my receipts and records looking for something and came across my Albino purchases. In 2007 & 2008 I paid between $800 and $1000 for mine (one male and two females). They produced this year and they will be priced between $300 and $400. Doesn't look like I'll make my money back this year on the treo. But, then again, I'm holding back three females for future projects.

I more than likely looked at a picture of an albino and then looked at a price for a het or something XDD

I paid $2,000 for my first albino.

A quality one for $500 is a good deal. Less quality, less money, pretty simple;)

I just posted this article up haha...I saw it in another thread and I think it was quite an interesting perspective on ball python pricing. It isn't long so if you have a chance check it out guys.

I just got my 100% het albino for $40.

My female albino hatchling cost me $450 this past February 2011

She is worth every penny - I just love her and she is one of my best eaters.

For a male, a female het is going to run on average about $150.

we sell ours for 500 because they are from a really high contrast line.

never seen them in the 100-150 range. maybe hets but not visuals.
