cant speak for GW but I've had gtp and normal olive pythons. Normal olives are far superior to any gtp imo, so I would guess I would prefer the albino olive over a gtp (i found the gtp to be so boring that I only kept it for 9 months). I wouldnt be so silly as to say my female olive is priceless, but I doubt I would sell it for anything less than $40K (only cost maybe $300). My male olive that died recently cost me more (in vet bills) than a gtp hatchie. High price does not always equate to quality. In regard to personality, I'd prefer a common beardie over any python, whilst I think the eastern snake neck turtle is the top of any herp list! Everyone has different tastes. I consider myself to be very lucky that my fav herps are all relatively inexpensive (unless they are sick).
I dont have any children other than my herps, but I'd say most parents would consider their kids to be far more valuable than say a house or fancy car, and perhaps many children "cost" as little as a cheap feed and bottle of wine- Go with what does it for you!
