SD retic

[Sauzo]

I'd be surprised if you could get $750 for a hatchling as a new retic breeder in a very saturated market. Especially a couple years from now as prices will continue to drop for single gene morphs. Sure, that's what vital exotics roughly prices theirs at, but they are a very well established retic breeding operation with years of experience in breeding a variety of reptiles.
Also, your math is off. The babies will be 18.75% SD, 50% dwarf, 31.25% mainland with the parents percentages where they are. That's still got some serious growth potential and should be expected.
$3/large or xl rat is a freaking bargain price. And that's provided the OP has access to a rat breeder locally. Expect it to be at least double or even triple that price from a pet store which is a more likely scenario for most keepers. I pay $7-8 large and xl and where I'm moving an xl frozen rat is $8.99. Could order online but then there is the issue of having to order in large quantities and have a place to store a couple hundred dollars worth of feeders.
Not trying to knock ya, just being realistic about things.

I'd be more surprised if he got $750 for a low percentage SD lavender albino not het anything. My guess on the price would be $300. Most people that buy SD want 50% or better. Caesar is 37.5% SD white albino tiger het snow and i got him for $400 but it was kind of a deal as the original snake i purchased had a pushed up nose so Kris didnt want to sell me it and it was his last one. So he upgraded me to Caesar for the same price. And Caesar is 31% mainland and he is 7' and 14 months old. He seems to have slowed down growing now as he hasnt shed in awhile.

Heck, you get a better deal on rats than me. I pay $10 for my jumbos. It costs me around $100 a month to feed my crew and thats not counting Harley the beardie who is a freakin hornworm junkie lol.
