I really dis-like these threads. I think it de-values the worth of an animal.
And yes you can get "cheap" animals of any morph, but at the end of the day - are you getting an animal just for the sake of getting one (insert morph here), or because that particular animal blew you away?
As an example - I have seen enchi's pretty disgustingly low priced at a semi-local show to me - where I had to stand there and study the animal, truly study it, to determine that it wasn't just a nice banded normal (or a truly ugly enchi). I knew I wanted to add an enchi to my collection. But not just the first "great deal" to come along. I waited and waited, and I think that my patience (and willingness to pay more for her) really paid off:
Same thing with albinos. Sure - you can find "cheap" (and I hate that word as well - to me, it "cheapens" the animal) albinos if you look for them. But if you want one that looks like THIS (this is Freakie Frog's animal, btw - who I would buy off him in a heartbeat, if he were selling.):
then you're going to pay a little more.
Like Sean Bradley has said on more than one occasion - "Examine the snake - not the deal"
