If you are getting into it for the money, buy hets. If you are getting into it because you really like Albinos, get either a female albino or even a pair. Yeah, a pair will set you back $2500-$4500, but you are going to get all albinos when bred together. Plus, it is what you want. I really like Albinos, so I bought a pair. I'll be lucky to make my money back on them, but who cares, they are gorgeous!



If you get a female, you can raise her up and a year later get you a male, then when the female is ready to go, the male will be too. Might save you a few hundred dollars.



In my experience with the Daytona show, it is a sellers market. I thought it was fairly high priced for the competition, but these breeders know that people are coming from all around the globe to BUY, so they can make some serious money. The selection can not be beat though, as all the good breeders(and bad ones) are there, so choices are more.



I would say expect to pay anywhere from $1500 to $2500 for a single albino, maybe a hair more for females. Of course, shop around and you MAY find a better deal.
