Albino olives are the same size as normal Olives. originally they came from Northern Territory locality Olives which in my opinion are a little smaller than most. My 8 year old adults are about 3 meters and say 8-10 kilos. Some breeders have introduced Queensland locals which are larger, say 4meters; and then some have put them with Baronii, from WA which are larger again.
Price normally relates to feeding , which in turn influences their breeding potential. Last season some hatchlings, only feeding on Quail have been sold for $4000 whereas "good" feeders have achieved double that. I believe animals from het to albino matings are more likely to be better feeders and should therfore command a premium. Having said that; that is how we breed all of ours, and I am sure those who mate white to white may argue , that is a better way to go.
This coming season we are offering early orders; white males with het female for $6000 a pair and white female with het male for $5000 a pair with at least 10 feeds of rodents before delivery.

Awh. I really want a white one. $5-6000 sounds alright for a pair but I think everyone around me would yell at me to get a car/my P's before that happens. It'll have to wait til I'm rich and famous. Cheers for the info though, I hadn't any idea.

Don't want to go too much off topic but yeah!- petrol prices! Pfft.
Starting to sound like a much better option the more I think about it.
Olives are fantastic and all things amazing. I shouldn't worry about them getting too big either- a car needs a decent amount of space/a garage.... that'd be a decent sized enclosure.

2 examples:
In May 2011 there was a female advertised on The HerpTrader for $4000 and included a 100% het for albino male Olive Python. The ad was updated to 'sold' 5 days later.
Another ad placed in July 2010 "female albino Olive hatchling" advertised for $8500 included a male het. from another clutch. Ad was updated to 'sold' 4 days later.
