Is it just me or have the prices of het albinos really plummeted?

[4theSNAKElady]

I have been seeing pairs going for $300-$400 on KS. That seems to me like a huge drop in price from1-2 years ago. I am a bit concerened since my albino project won't be "live" for at least 2 more years.

imo, albinos have been holding their value pretty good!


they have been around since the mid 90's...

I haven't seen the $300 pairs. All the ones I see are $450-550/pair.

You can thank Ian G. and his sellers for that one....

A lot of those pairs are actually females with a free male thrown in... apparently it's pretty hard to sell a het male. I haven't seen them that low, but I guess you also have to question if they really are hets.

rocky , why blame ian?

albinos are one of the oldest morphs, they have held prices for along time, and still do. just because you see an ad for a certain price doesn't mean that is the only price.

I guess albinos still held there value, but the hets have dropped considerably. Gosh, I remember going to my first reptile show in the late 90's and seeing albinos go for $5000,pieds for $10000 and pastels for......$2000!

What does Ian Have to do with it? And who are his "sellers"? Or do you mean the Lowlife flippers that buy from Ian to resell??

[adizziedoll]

I haven't seen them that low - I bought my het pair 2 years ago for $550 , and the price still seems to be holding well!

Compare them to all the co-doms and they've held up nicely. I love albinos they are one of the best bp morphs out there.
