Wanting an albino Royal UK
Hi all, I am in the market for an albino Royal Python and I was wondering if anyone could give me a heads up on what I might have to pay? I'm not really looking for a specific morph or one for breeding (though I know a female will cost more) I'm in the UK and in the north so any links/info on any reputable breeders/shops would be a great help too.
Thanks in advance for the replies
Tim

I'd have a look at the classifieds on RFUK - that should give you a good idea on the current price. :)
And as for breeder recommendations I'd say shop the snake.

Hold out until you see one that blows your socks off then make sure the seller isn't a dodgy person. :D
Re: Wanting an albino Royal UK
It also depends on what age / size you are looking for ...
Hatchlings seem to be around £225 upwards depending on quality .
I've seen a few recently about 2 years old and the going price appears to be around £300 - it's remained at that level over the years . One of the few morphs that hasn't seen their prices drop

They will not export a $200 animal, export usually requires a $5000 purchase and there is an additional cost of $500 to $1000 for shipping and paperwork

I think the retail value of a albino bp is a bit more than that Deb. It's more like 300 to 350 . All the quality breeders are asking more than 200 w/o shipping. Even big apple herp has a high contrast albino for 369.00 :gj:

Big apple herp is not a breeder, 2014 have been sold on the net and at shows for $200 / $250, either way irrelevant since the OP is in the UK, I was referring to US prices and the fact that no breeder will export a $200 or even a $350 animal since you recommended US breeders.
Re: Wanting an albino Royal UK
I've mentioned the current UK prices already a few posts above . It's really just a case of finding the right one for the right price tbh.
They are easily found but he will have to pay the going price as they are always in demand .
