Ok, so I have my budget for a BP set at $250 USD. Originally I was planning on going to an expo, but after calculating the costs of travel/food/entry/etc., it seems comparable to shipping costs. That said, I've been looking at a few different albinos from Dynasty Reptiles, since I've heard good things about them, and their snakes are already feeding on F/T. I haven't quite settled on if I should get a male or female yet, but I'm leaning towards female. Technically I'm only buying as a pet for now, but I know if I change my mind in the future and want to breed, having a female first would be ideal. Plus, while I'm not sure how accurate the info is, I've heard males are more likely to go on feeding strikes during mating season and I'd rather have a snake that's more likely to feed consistently. I think the only thing I'd see as a plus side to males is they tend to stay smaller.
Here's all the currently listed albino snakes from this particular seller within my budget: [X]
Originally I was eyeing one of the standard albinos, but then I noticed Albino Enchis also listed, and now I'm torn. So far I've seen albinos that have the white fade to yellow, or it may stay mostly yellow and white, and I'm good with either as long as there's at least a little white left. The Enchis seem like the white turns orange, and I wonder if they'd have any white left on them once they get older?
If anyone has any input on these two morphs, please share...especially if you have any pics of what these types of snakes look like as adults. I see tons of hatchling pics, but rarely adults, and Google images search is meh at best.
