fortunately prices have come down as these species have become more common. As it does with all reptiles, Leatherback beardies were $500, dropped to $100 within 2 years. Melanistic blue tongues dropped from $900 to $200 within 2 years as people bred more of them. I don't breed central beardies any more as they cost more to produce than you can sell them for ; not that I ever bred for profit. It's more about fun and seeing the smile on kids faces.Reptile prices these days are cheap as chips.
Years ago we were paying 2k for BHP's 3k for womas and 5k for albino darwins, gtp's 5k. I remember forking out 30K for 6 albs and 20K for gtp's .
You think hypermelanistics sell for $200? Ill take 20 for that price and make a huge profit. They have been around 15+ years and the price has been very stable throughout that time. Same with the albinos and whites (been around for 20 years and still go for $1000+).fortunately prices have come down as these species have become more common.

Check out the Sydney expo's, I'm there every year and I see the prices drop. Sure there are some magnificent animals that draw big dollars but on average the price has come down heaps for some critters.You think hypermelanistics sell for $200?

it's hard to get decent pics of these guys as they are so flighty, but here's a couple of shots to give you an idea of their colourDragonlover1 I love kimberley frillys! Got any pics? I'm getting into monitors and Dragons and I'm hoping to get my hands on some frillys in 2023
and this what they looked like from behind when I got them lovely back patterns, very different from my NT frilliesDragonlover1 I love kimberley frillys! Got any pics? I'm getting into monitors and Dragons and I'm hoping to get my hands on some frillys in 2023
Most australian bluetongues are only northern and eastern are fairly common but you can Indonesian adult bluetongues for 50 aussie dollarsOh my God, your a mad man, Shinglebacks are SUPER rare over there yeah?
they are gorgeous crittersAwesome! Makes me want some even more!
Wow that is crazy, in Australia the eastern is worth about $25-40, but the Northern can cost about $100, (we got ours for less) and a western is about $200. The crazy thing is our Govt. says Northern and Western are harder to maintain so a higher license class is required. We have eastern, northern, western BTS and a cunningham skink in exactly the same conditions and the same food. So what does Govt. know ?
