[Nelliy]

Yes they are darn beautiful some of them but they are soo pricey i havent able to find a nice one under $1000 is this normal? are they meant to be this expensive ?

 

[JrFear]

ive seen them go for $400 but $800-$1000 is the norm!

They are pretty much all around the same high price no matter the age or temperament or whatever.
-unless they are a rpm in which case they are obviously a bit more expensive again..
Just based on your other post, have you looked into Hypo Bredlis at all? They are really nice aswell and not as expensive as the Albino Darwins.

If its a yr or 2 old u be paying up to 2000 +

Why don't you want a hatchling? In under a year it would be over two feet and you will have time to grow with it and see it get more beautiful with every shed.
That 800-1000 is typical for hatchies so you should expect to pay more for older animals due to the fact that whoever has owned it has had to put time, effort and food into it. All of those things cost money.

as Oz said the older it is the more $$$ u will pay!
if u really want one price wouldnt matter!

 

[Albino93]

Theres some hatchies in the for sale section for only $650 and they are mighty stunning thats for sure, imo ur not gonna get much better then that.
I also agree with sax, hatchies are so much better cause u get to grow with them and watch their amazing patterns/colour form.

do albino darwins have a kind dispositon ?

 

[JrFear]

:facepalm:

You'll be looking at more then $1000 for anything older then a hatchling,

As covered already there are a few cheap ones in the for sale section at the moment but other then that you're usually going to have to pay around the 1k mark (like I'm going to have to in march)

Time will tell that your money was well spent!

every snake is different some may bite some may be calm and relaxed or just flighty but usually always calm down with age an handlin there are some exceptions

Here is my girl (pics don't do any justice) she seemed to be the ugly duckling of the group but I knew she wasn't going to be. In the flesh she has the most beautiful lavender face colours and a thin lime green stripe all the way down her body. The colour in the pics is not really near the true colour. She was $750 last season. The first ones are when I first got her.

as said all snakes are different , funny thing though only albino darwin ive seen in person was a defensive hatchy , my mate bought him home and decided to ignore the settling in period , he handed him to me whilst he did stuff and he started striking like crazy at my mate whilst i was holding him , he left him to settle after that

I have a few here that are around 10 months old now.I usually charge the same price as hatchies for yearlings.

As far as people thinking albs are a high price they are very cheap considering only a few years ago they were $5000 each.

I bought a female hatcho for 900 and a 100%het male for 350 all worth the investment I reckon

I bought my girl of you she is powering along she would be getting close to 5 feet now

Better to keep the price higher. Otherwise every man and his dog will get a pair and start flooding the market with albinos that may or may not be up2 the quality reptiles being produced by good breeders in good conditions. I would hate this species to become common just like a childreni or stimmie.

 

[swampie]

Already is very common Grogshla.

 

[Grogshla]

It will be even worse in a few years..
