Hello, I have a person wanting to sell me an Albino diamond python for $750. I have had a look around on the net for prices etc, but haven't really found anything relevant. I am talking to him more about it on Tuesday, I am hoping that it is registered!!!
Also any info on problems due to genetics would be greatly appreciated. |

This person is wasting your time.

|  | Maccie Queen Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Gender: | | | | Hmmm... $750....... Albino Diamond.... I would be just a little cautious over this one!!!!! To me and this is IMO ONLY but it seems a bit of a dodgy sale! Just be careful and make sure you are well informed of the whole situation ok!!!

| | | | He tells me it is albino with the diamonds markings. I will get pics and post. Yeah I know the price is very cheap. He has taken home a few smaller pythons that he finds on the highway to release on his farm. So I'm guessing that it is another wild one he has found, and has an inkling that it is worth a bit of money, but perhaps not the full extent. Really Really hoping it is registered, i will not be selling it If it is. |

Where did you meet him, and is he asking to be paid in a particular manner? I only ask because I had someone PM me on a different site and say that they had a spotted with strange colours on it - like it was almost green with blue-ish markings - that he wanted to sell me. I was intrigued, and tried to find out more about it, so he sent me a picture, and after a bunch of PMs later, he said that he wanted me to post him cash to pay for it. Anyway, I discovered later that he had photoshopped an existing picture of a spotted and actually had no kind of reptile in his possession.
Good lesson I suppose.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: May-05 Location: Sydney Gender: | | | | i have heard from multiple sources that there have been albino diamonds seen and bred, i have only heard it and not seen any proof, but it is possible, considering the sources dont know each other. | | |
