Anyone know the value of a adult albino clown jurassic?

Pics..

I cant really say anything about a value, but I do have to say, that pattern is AMAZING!! Incredible!

Cool looking snake... I really have no idea on the value though... i think with hybrid's there is a big gap in price depending on looks of each animal... But, in my opoinion the hybrid market is slim so they are usually worth less than you might think...

Are you looking to buy them or sell them?

First of all it's a very pretty snake, congrats.

Secondly, I have to agree that hybrid's tend to sell for less then non-hybrids on average but this is not always the case.
A perfect example is the price of "jungle corns"(corn x cal king) compared to the normal prices of cornsnakes. Most of the jungle corns I have seen sold were sold for arround $100 were as most of the relatively common morphs of 'pure' cornsnakes are available for $40 or less.

My suggestion would be to watch the selling prices of various hybrids in the clasified under "other snakes" and under "other kingsnakes.." to get a general idea of what people will pay for hybrids and from that set your prices for each snake individualy based on it's own appearance.

You could also contact some of the people selling the hybrids in the classifieds and ask them for first hand advice.

Hope that helps, and once again congrats on a very striking snake.

Don't sell that thing! It has a one-of-a-kind pattern and thus more intrinsic value than actual value.

Keep it and breed it to something like a hypo motley het amel corn. It looks like it probably carries the motley gene. If so, all the babies will be motley, with half of them being albino and half not. (This is assuming that the amel gene is not lavender, which would still be interesting. If that were the case, just breed it to a het lav the next year). It may be hypo or het. Either way, the hypos from that will be as striking as the amels. Especially when mixed with the motley gene, which always enhances hypomelanism.

If that pattern is inherited by the next generation, you could sell 10 or 20 babies for $250 apiece rather than MAYBE getting $300 for that adult.

Or you could just sell it to me and let me take the profit, ha!

ive been observing hybrid prices for a long while now, andhave owned a few hybrids. if i had to guess a value for yours, i'd pay $200 because it is an absolute beauty.

i've seen most hybrid babies here in the $60-$120 range. a couple months ago someone advertised one hybrid for $400, but i don't know if it sold (price seems very steep). on the other hand, someone else was selling 5 similarly beautiful hybrids about a month ago in the $175-$225 range and they all sold.

it boils down to finding someone who wants it and agreeing upon a price.

people who don't like hybrids would, of course, pay nothing.

someone looking for a pattern like yours for breeding or whatever might pay a lot more money, so there is also a timing/luck issue in finding the right buyer.
