Albino red tail

[roosterman2173]

I went into one of our local pet shops today and they had an albino red tail. It was a little over three feet and they wanted $1499.00 for it. Is this normal?

[AndrewGeibel]

Normal if it is a coral albino. If it is a kahl then no.

i seen some yesterday at a local shop for $499.they were beautifull too.if i had 55 i woulda grabbed one

[waltah!]

$500 sounds like a good price.....$1400 on the other hand, no. Unless it was a coral.

What is your definition of a coral boa?

[butters!]

i didnt notice the first time it was 3ft.eh,i dunno still seems kinda steep even for a ready to breed alb rtb.and if you want to see a coral look it up.i think the difference from the two is the coral is more red than orange,dont quote me on this though

Butters,

I'm sure Jimi is more than certain what a coral albino is/looks like, but is asking Andrew his definition----as in seeking clarification.

As I'm still learning the different ball and boa morphs, I'd be interested in the answers, and if you could, a picture.

In MY newbie opinion, the only reason to mark up a boa THAT much, is b/c they "might" get that sort of money. Around here, it would have to a pretty damn special albino for that price. Otherwise, $4-500. Now if it's breeding SIZE and weight, then it would go for around $900-1K (around here).

But I'm always listening and trying to learn........

In all honesty I am not very good with the different genetics. You know a lot more about it than me. All I know is they are different lines. Or is a coral a specific line of Kahl? I'm just not that knowledgeable about the boa morphs.

Okay then Jimi- school us.
Coral? Lipstick? Kahl? Sharp?
What gives??
Bonuses to any of them? Negatives to any?
School bells ringing- where's the teacher?

I agree I need help with this stuff.
