albino burn questions

elie Feb 08, 2004 12:10 AM

albino burms are anything but rare, you could find them at many pet shops and all herp events/shows. They also tend to have large clutches of eggs. So why do they still cost around $200?

I sometimes see them for as little as 100 or 125. These are decent prices for still one of the most beautiful snakes on the market. But the main reason for the fact that they haven't dropped as low as 30 dollar normal ball pythons is likely due to the simple fact that not a lot of folks breed them when the prices drop very low. I have seen the prices fluctuate with the availability and vice versa.

200 wow thats kinda high, the pet store by my house is selling them for 200, but the show I went to sold them for 125 - 130 price range. I have also learned this. You can usually tell them that you have seen them for cheaper, and they will drop the price. Also if you wait to the end of a show, same deal people usually dont want to pack up everything they bought and if they had a bad day, will give you a great deal. Just my experience.
