Skip, I seen that you stated you have cribo babies that keep their black tails, what do you normally sell the babies for?

Yes, throughout their range there is a variance in tail color. At some point, we started calling the pale tails unicolors and started charging more money for them. Because cribos breed like rats, in a few years these precious unicolors will be as cheap as any other cribo.

Then we will breed ones with two eye markings only to others with two eye markings and so on and so on.

Fortunately, Mother Nature isn't as crass.

I usually sell my female for $350 and my males for $275.
