Hmmm...We'll then with that price range, to purchase one...I'd got with Greg and The Retic Ranch...His normal het albino's are great and in your price range...Also, down the road you can breed and then get visuals...The main reason I'm also pointing your in his direction is cause he has great customer service and will always answer your questions...
Now, the part about being new to tics...I'd do your research and read through some of the threads...Just cause they are classified as dwarfs doesn't mean they are smaller in essence. Yes, instead of getting 12 - 17 feet, they will stay around 8 - 10 feet depending on the morph and genetics...But they still have the tic feeding response and a bite from an 8'er is nothing to sneeze about I got wrapped by my 8' Dwarf Purple last month...And it was an interesting experience, but I'm also a little Sherman Tank at 195 lbs and was prepared for it for the most part cause I knew he was in a pissy mood...
I'm not discouraging but encouraging the preparation because in the end the only one that suffers is the snake...Little tics are cute and easy to manage, but as they get bigger some people tend to hold them less because they are worried about getting bit or their reaction...That isn't good because you'll just let him/her get bigger and possibly less tame from lack of handling and then you'll get more timid as they get bigger...I hope that makes sense...
I love my Dwarfs and will be breeding a ton over the next couple of years...Free free to reach out if you have any questions, my limited knowledge is at your disposal..LOL
