Het Lavender Albino vs Lesser

[J.Vandegrift]

Well bro your het female is prime time now. What does she weigh 2000-2500grams? I know she was a monster 2yr old. I remember you saying your het male lost interest late in the season, this year he should be prime time as well. I'm pulling for ya man, nice clutch of 10 wouldn't your feeling for sure.

Yea, she is about 2100g empty now. This year I am not breeding the het male with anything but her and I am only putting her with him once or twice a month. He just locked up for the first time this year about a week ago so I am hoping that with him starting up about 6 weeks later and him only breeding one girl this year he will have a little more stamina for later in the season. I actually would not be too shocked to see a big clutch out of her. Her 1 good egg last year was only 70g so I am hoping she is one of those girls that lays a lot of small eggs instead of only a few large ones.

Best of luck with that clutch John!!

i doubt they will be 500 or less by daytona(

they are allready for sale on ks for 750 shipped 500 is not a far strech.

haha ive seen lessers on ks with 5 05 females for 375? I dont know what everyone is talking about not being able to find one for under 500$

you should of bought them then. even if you fliped them you would of made enaugh to buy a high end morph. LOL

You know what probably made up my mind? Having a bunch of visible morphs that are Het BEL, rather than a Het Lav Alb and a bunch of 50% Het Lav Alb females. I think about the albino I have now and my heart fills with pride whenever I feed him or clean his cage, LOL.

If I can get a Lesser male for $800 or below, I'll be getting one, or maybe 1.1. Breed the male to all my normals, keep the female Lessers, raise them up, and by that time I might just be able to buy a male Leucistic. In the meantime I can also get in on the Lavender Albino project, and maybe pick up a Bumble Bee to cross with the Lesser.

You guys rock.

Sounds like a plan both are awesome projects so it's a win win.

Im not doubting anyone, but can everyone finding these cheap lessers give me a pm with a link? I cant find one under $800

I still say go with the lesser(try finding a older one), breed him to 10 females that you buy next , and you can buy a lav albino( and much much more) withen the next year or two.

I would also like to see where you can find a lesser for anything under 1000... Most all ads on KS are 1300 but I did find 1 breeder sellin em for 1000. With it being this late in the season and availability being rather limited I think 800$ lesser will be hard to find.

As previously stated they are much cheaper at the begining of the hatching season(Daytona) bc everyones sellin em. Supply is high and breeders are trying to make sales so they shave some $$ off the top to keep your interest. Basic economics.

When it comes to shopping for animal I'm more of a trust and quality shopper than anything. There are always deals but there is always a reason for those deals..ie Bad reputation, sub par animals.

For those reasons I don't mind paying a couple hundred extra going with someone I can trust. The peace of mind is well worth it. After all I'm shopping for breeding stock so I'm looking for top quality.

Have you tried calling a few of the breeders selling them and making an offer? I am not saying to shop with a dealer that has a bad rep or subpar animals. The big breeders listen to offers just like the smaller guys do. The worst a seller can say is no and as long as your offer is not ridiculous they will usually either say yes, or at least come back with what the lowest price they are willing to take is.
