My understanding is that the animal is sold but that the breeder is taking orders for next year. They used to be $24000 a pair but hes now selling them at $15000 each. At those prices a mature female albino for $50,000 would be good buying.

olives can mate at 2 1/2yrs with eggs hatching at 3yrs with out any problems, they just dont have many eggs for their first clutch.
basketcase, i think thats a leuristic ball python,(not an albino).
heres a nice girl, she will have a clutch of hets this season and a clutch of albinos next season.

A leucistic animal lacks all pigment whereas an albino lacks only melanin. Quote: |

| Umm, isnt that backwards? Leucistic lacks body pigment but retains pigment in eyes.
