Albino Emoryi Rat.

Steve_Craig Apr 30, 2007 07:44 AM

Here's a couple of new shots of my 06 albino emoryi male. Also will be receivng a 2006 het female this week from Jim Sargent. I'm looking forward to producing some beautiful albino and het albino emoryi in near future.

That is a very beautifull emoryi. They have been on my wish list for years! Is it just me or did it seem like last year you could find albinos for like $40 and now they have gone up in price....?

Thanks for the nice comment on my emoryi. As far as price goes, I don't think they've gone up in price. If anything, they may have gone down a little. But not too much. They seem to hold their value. I've seen them average anywhere from $150.00 to $250.00 over the last few years. There's one on the classifieds right now that's priced at $300.00. Het albinos average around $75.00. If you find "Pure" albino emoryi for 40.00, my suggestion would be to pounce on that deal ASAP. If you look long and hard, you can find a good deal every once in a while on an albino emoryi.

That is really cool, I am surprised those are not seen more often by now. Jim Sargent has excellent stock, he is one of my favorite breeders out there. Tom Stevens

Thanks Tom. The only thing I can figure is maybe because albino emoryi still command somewhat of a higher price tag compared to many of the different corn morphs. I love them because they have a whole different look about them. Not just albino emoryi, but I love the normals too.
And you are right on when it comes to Jim Sargent. I've ordered from him in the past, and he, as well as his animals are top notch. If I ever make it to one of the Texas shows, there's quite a bit of breeders I'd love to stop by and say hello to. John Cherry, Don Soderberg, Jim Sargent, you (Tom Stevens) and a whole list of other fine folks I've purchased animals from in the past, that reside in the Lone Star State.
