This person doesn't live very far from me (well kinda) and they are offering an albino boy and a het girl for 2000.00

I told them it's kinda expensive for the het to be 1000 dollars. I could see 400 but they want a grand each! (or best offer)

and I also don't know if that het comes with papers to prove it's het! and I dont know the percentage of het either!

Perhaps I should look elsewhere eh!?!?!

and look at the picture of the het... do you think it has a shin problem on it's head!
Problem is they live a few hundered KM's from me and I'd like to see before I buy... probably a good idea to see them before hand?

do you want to buy both of them or just one. because it looks like theyre just offering them up in pairs.

[pythontricker]

you shouldnt get the het. freaking $1000 dollars for a not proven het is kinda shady. if i were you i wouldn even buy from them. but if you must get the albino.

[Jonny2184]

I wanted Both. I could start a breeding project perhaps in the future!
But 2000 seems a lot eh!

That price is quite a bit higher than i'd expect to pay for that pair.

I emailed him about proving it is het so we will see what they say! I shouldn't take anyones word on that kinda stuff eh!?!?!

yeah thats a crap load. hey check out professional breeders. the have really nice albinos and hets. i just bought an albino female just 3 days ago from them for only $900. ntheyre hets are cheap too ($200) i believe. i could be wrong but the last time i checked on the hets there they were that much. i would really suggest looking @ professional breeders. Steve osborne (owner) is the nicest guy i have ever met. he gave me all the info i ever needed. hope this helps!

You could always strike up a fair price for the albino, and then buy a het frm a trusted breeder. That price is out of this worldly high!

[MelissaFlipski]

If the only reason you are interested in this breeder is location (so you can see the snakes beforehand), it might not be enough of a reason. Having snakes shipped from a trusted source would be the best bet. And yeah, albinoes should be $1,000 and hets WAAAAAAY less.

Personally, I'd go with Adam Wysocki at 8Ball. Or Brian Barczyk (sp?) at BHB.

But you can and should check the BOI on Fauna Classifieds before buying from anyone.

Good luck! I envy you!

You're in Canada - the prices have always been higher in Canada - supply and demand.
