    Question Snow Carpet Python???

    How much would a snow carpet python be expected too retail for? Or what would you expect it too sell for? Very keen on one...

    The minute someone proves one out, I highly doubt they'd sell for a fair while.
    I'd be keen on one too, but I don't expect them on the market for a long time, or anywhere near an affordable price.(i.e. under 10-15k)

    From my understanding, there is only one clutch from a double het pairing at the moment. So, assuming the numbers come out in the proper probability, it's still only likely to produce one or two actual Snows this season and, like Jimmy said, there's no way Jo and Larks will be letting them go. I can't wait for them either but pretty sure it will be at least a decade before they are readily available and within a reasonable price range. I'd think your estimate of 10-15k would be on the low end of the "first guess" scale. Weren't albino Olives going for over 60k a pair?

    All the carpet pythons I breed are Snow's carpet pythons.

    Snow Carpet Python???

    It doesn't really require "proving" since it's known what morphs are required to create it. The axanthic carpet morph was only recently proven though which is why actual Snows are still some time off

    Being that Axanthics are colourless monotone Coastals, care to explain what snow's are? I asking as I happen to be buying an animal that has a blood relation to Larks lot
    I'm after carpet pythons; would prefer stripes, females, pure or crosses, have 39 so far and more on their way. Not a tyrekicker, I just ask many questions and Im over friendly & talkative too.

    if memory serves me a snow is an axenthic albino
    basically axenthics show no yellow and albinos show no black making a white snake with both genes being recessive as everyone stated above common snows will be many yrs off

    If by "very rare" you mean they don't exist

    Sorry yeah I thought they were old enough to breed this year but when I went back and looked, you're right. So even longer than I predicted

    Thredbo has plenty of snow carpet pythons - make him as large or small as you want. He prefers the cold so don't heat him or you'll lose him.
