[rockethead]

The cost is going down and up on repitle price's these days hard to figure out so what are people asking for albino's this year
I had a few offers last year under $800 each if i brought pairs of darwin pythons
other albino's cost would be good to see whats going for what on todays market cause there is alot of different types of albino pythons & other lizards & snakes blue tongues,death adders what ever is albino

im buying my albino darwin for 650

$650 is a very good price ^^^
I think they go for around $800 often more and their pattern changes the cost. I've seen some for 1.3k some slightly more but they're going down so quickly that soon $650 will be normal price for one.

QLD has better prices than sydney i have noticed

Depends on the quality of the albino.

How can you tell with a hatchling the quality?

How can you tell with a hatchling the quality?

very easy to tell with hatchies, the breeder will know how many feeds its had, how many times its shed, what its temperment is like ect. but the best breeders will know the exact date the python has eaten/ shed and the python is feed regularly ect. you'd be suprised at how many breeders don't know how many feeds a hatchie has had or how many sheds its had let alone the snakes date of bith.

cheapest albino darwin i have seen was $800 for a hatchie and yearlings for $900. adults i usualy see for $2500-4000.

Have been seeing hatchy albino darwins from diffeent breeders going for under $800 this year on this forum. Just check the for sale section if your interested.

 

[RSPcrazy]

The average price for albino hatchlings I've seen, is between $750-1000.
I just sold a 5 year old albino male and 2 females for $2500 each.

I think the one Fay uses as her avatar is priceless, hatchlings with that type of patterning would certainly fetch well above the current norm of around $800.

Fay if you dont mind me asking, what would something like your avatar baby be worth? Whom bred her. I wound say they are quality plus.

This is true. If you go with a reputable breeder. All of this information can be falsified by someone dodgy.

This is what I meant. You can't tell how a hatchling albino will turn out as an adult.

 

[FAY]

This is one of my avatars babies. You can see the pattern to a certain extent. I would probably sell these for maybe 900-1000 each. The parents are quality. The babies have nice patterning. I would be selling these at about 12 months old though, so would have more of an idea.
BTW I will NOT be selling these.

I'd love an alb darwin, trouble is now I have seen fays, I won't settle for 'just' any.

 

[MonitorMayhem]

a few breeders are going to sell for $500 this year when there ready

You can't tell how a hatchling albino will turn out as an adult.

Actually, you can get a pretty good idea of the pattern and colour if you know what you are looking at. Dark pink/red turns white in adults. A white colour turns a light flouro yellow. Different shades of yellow turn yellow and orange. The dark bits on
Fay's hatchling will turn into white. Not many albinos have so much true white. Those that do will rarely be advertised on the forum because they sell so quickly.

Same here. When albinos first came out I was just not impressed with them as they all looked wishy washy, then I saw Ramsayi's on this site.....got to have one. Then when I could afford it...mind you I got her and a het for 5k. I was fortunate enough to get this beauty.

Does the Fluro yellow fade out as they get bigger?
