???? Albino Blue Tongue ??????

Just saw this on HerpTrader classified. Very nice, I thought it might be more expensive than the asking price.

Wow, Jason has some great stuff at the moment doesn't he. Well done mate. I'll be over next week. I'll have to come and see those Glaurti.

Am not sure myself. It does have some albino traits especially when you look at the photo on the right. Hence why I put ? marks on the post title.

It's nice enough but obviously not an albino as it has some black markings. There are albinos kicking around so I can't see it's worth that sort of money.

If anything it looks like the BHP that lose pigment with each shed, would be good to see a picture of it when it was alot younger

To be honest it doesn't even look like that as the BHP's have the calico look whereas that Blue Tongue is just very light, like I say it is nice but I high price tag.

Yeah I think its a hypo, although its a nice animal I wouldn't pay that much for it but good luck to anyone who wants it. I would be interested in seeing its offspring if it is bred.

Yeah definately a hypo. I have seen a very similar one in the wild around my area.
I wouldnt pay $3000. Not even if it was an albino.
I wonder how much the albino bluies will cost when they are avaliable.
