Also any info on problems due to genetics would be greatly appreciated. | Does he reside in Nigeria by any chance?   |

There is every chance it's legit, I'd be asking for photos.

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-06 Location: Alice Springs | | | | Most people outside of the herp community have no idea what an albino carpet/diamond/woma - you name it - would go for. I've told people that some snakes are worth over 10,000 dollars and they don't believe me, saying it's impossible for an animal to cost that much.
If the claim is true and you do get this animal - illegal as it might be, I'd bet my left one that there are going to be many people from this site that are going to PM you offering you a lot of money - but still a fraction of its true worth - for the snake. It will somehow appear on someone's book as a captive bred and a couple of years from now we'll see baby het diamonds for sale for 5k a piece - and diamond x darwin albinos for some ridiculous price.
If you do decide to buy the snake - an I am not suggesting an illegal activity - don't tell anyone about it. You WILL be ripped off ... mark my words.

$750 for a snake like that is cheap i would think that an animal as rare as that would go for up to $30K. |
