After Snake Ranch showed us what they do in regards to prices when they release animals (charge extremely high prices then drop ENORMOUSLY within a few seasons) I would be surprised that anyone would pay so much for these albino Macs.
They are stunning animals and I will definitely buy one in the future...... Maybe in a couple of years when they are a quarter of this price!
As everyone has said, macs are easy to breed, lay larger clutches on average than the other antaresia and can be bred a lot younger than carpets. Plus we know that SR will slash prices once the private breeders start producing young and trying to sell them as this has been proven with the RSP and albino Darwins.
