can anyone tell me where the cheapest place i can get a pair of albino royal pythons please and how much would i be expected to pay

This is something that I posted on another link to a similar question"

A albino ball pythons could cost you in upwards of $4000.00, if you buy one from a reputable breeder. A het for albino, which means that one of the snakes parents were albino, and he carries the albino gene will run you about $1000. Now consider this. If you were to breed a male het albino, which carries the albino gene, and a female het albino, which also carries the albino gene you would get 50% het albinos which cost about, from shopping around, $300-$400 a pair. If you bred a het male to a het female you could possible get albinos, but the remaining offspring will be 50% het albinos. These are very much more cost efficient. For more info on the 50% and 66% albino, or any other mutation, please visit this website. It will cleary explain the 50% and 66% het traits and the possibilities of each. Here is the link:

This will get you into the albino morph trade for a very reasonable price. Check it out.

Good luck in whatever you decide,
Cool genetics crap....if interested

But a lot of your info is incorrect. Albino balls this year are in between $2000 and $3000, not $4000. Also, you said a male het. albino is $1000, when they're actually $100-$250. Also, if your breed a male and female that are both het. albino, you would get albinos and 66% poss. hets. You get 50% poss. hets from breeding a het. to a normal.

I know. I edited it the first time and previewed it then wanted to make one more change and hit back instead of edit and I forgot to make the changes once I repasted. Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciated it. I will be more careful in the future.

my bet is you will be able to pick up a pair in the 4500 to 5000 dollar range.i paid 5000 for my pair.
