Perhaps $10000-25000, hard to say really.

If its legit, and not wild caught, it would be a case of naming your price i imagine.

I reckon in excess of 10k wouldnt be out of the question.

 

[cyclamen]

wow mate if i ever see you in real life i will apologise without a doubt . you sure showed all of us. and good on your doing it too. great stuff.

ESD price

Hes a nice animal..... An i am sure the photos do not do him justice......

He is Rare in captivity.....

AS to what he is worth..... As much as someone is prepared to pay..............

SO the average joe/jill would miss out as there are too many people willing to mortgage there house to get one in the hope of a quick dollar from his matings........

I know it doesnt give you a dollar vaule,but i certainly would be buying a green tree python before one of those.... For me personally albino or not its an eastern water dragon. Readily available . Now if it was an albino knobtail..... whooaaa...

LOL.

cheers and good luck

True it's only an EWD, but the melanistic blueys are only blueys (normally cheaper than EWD) and i'd happily pay $2000+ each for those.

 

[Chrisreptile]

wow mate hes a nice little dragon

 

[Magpie]

Can I ask why you think it is a male?

 

[Oskorei]

SNAP! everyone just got showed up.. excellent EWD there mate, seems your mate has himself a deposit on a house arte a car or 2 either buy sellign it or breeding it

 

[njlocksmith]

My mate adam (addy, the owner of the lizard) is joining the forum now, just having trouble activating his account, apparently. I guess he'll tell you why he thinks it's a male.

 

[Reptile_Boy]

i told ya it is true lol the bloke in the pic is my m8 from martial arts he is a decent lookin dragon he has better pics n his phone hehe lol i think 10k up

 

[MoreliaMatt]

The reason for this post was to find out what this guy is worth. If its a male then it is obviously worth 3 times as much as a female. I say that because he will easily throw 3 times as many het babies this season.

BUT..... I doubt people would tell you what they would be willing to pay for it.

Sure, there are lots of speculators on here that will say what they think it is worth but I would doubt that any of them would hand over the cash if it was offered to them at their stated price. Because of that, I wont tell you what I think it is worth. After all I am unlikely to be a potential buyer so my opinion is worth squat.

If you think that it is worth $10,000 and at that price you would prefer to sell it (one in the hand sort of thing) then offer it for sale. If at $10,000 you would keep it then put it up at $20,000. If no one replies then you know it is worth less than 20k. If you sell it then maybe you didn't ask enough.

But whatever you do either sell it or breed it.

And dont post adds saying things like "urgently wanted - 2 to 3 female water dragons"

what happens then if you are out herping and come across an albino speices, and how do these blokes out their aquire there albinos legitimatly from the wild.

well (this is just a guess) I would think that you would have to contact national parks and wild life asking for permission to take them out of the wild because they wont be able to survive because of their white colour. Seeing as it would make it almost impossible to camouflage so it would make it easier for them to be eaten, or something like that, correct me if I am wrong.

NSW NPWS will NOT give you permission to take an albino from the wild. If its mutant colouring will result in a premature death, then so be it. That's natural selection at work.

This is probably not a ewise thing publicising this lizard. You may end up losing loosing this lizard if it does get found out by npws that its illegal, and next think you know snake ranch will have albino easties

But if i were you two i would keep and breed it and not tell anyone that asks where you live...........

What will happen now with this lizard if the npws get their hands on it?

 

[Twiggz]

I wonder how many PM's your mate will receive in the first few hours he's online???

Very nice EWD none the less.

 

[Hickson]

I haven't seen anything to say that this lizard was taken from the wild.

I was simply responding to some statements made by members who were thinking about what would happen if you saw one in the wild.

I'm certainly not suggesting that NJLocksmith or his mate Addy have done that.

i dont mean to post this to correct you man, but im interested to know if beardies being australian are so common all over the world? its amazing to me that we are so protective of our wildlife yet we export it with no problems>?!?! weird right? or is it just me?

We don't "export with no problems" - you cannot export native wildlife. Only zoos can do that, and only to send to other zoos. Beardies were exported a long time ago before the current laws were in place. And they are very popular in the States and also in the UK. They've been breeding them for years.
