I agree with you that they are awesome looking retics and the potential for making money is definitely apparent.
But quite honestly, I think Prehistoric Pets totally over prices their snakes...from regular ball pythons to albino tiger retics. Granted they may produce nice animals, but there are a lot great breeders selling things for less.
I saw on the python classified an albino tiger retic for $8500. If you purchase a super tiger het for albino, or even a regular albino retic, your total out of pocket cash would be roughly $10,000. After 2-3 years breed them and make your money back.
Better yet invest $11,500 and get two albino retics, and the tiger albino I mentioned before and have twice the offspring!!
Just my thoughts....
You could invest $22,000 in a lot of things, just be wise about it.
$10,000 would purchase a motley boa and a hypo and produce hypo motleys! The possibilities are endless...
