Do you think it's possible to find a HATCHLING female white phase albino retic anywhere?

I see a lot for sale that are like 6 feet plus.

Also-- it seems that $2,000 seems to be the asking price right now... I'm curious to know if anyone might have them a bit cheaper.
*sigh* It seems like I've been waiting forever....

Try contacting some of the big breeders like mike wilbanks, or bob clark, they should have some hatchlings.

It is certainly possible to find cheaper albinos out there. Usually, the only people that ask the full $2k on them are the big guys already mentioned, Bob Clark, Mike Wilbanks, Prehistoric Pets, etc. I've gotten a couple of retics, including one albino (dark lavendar phase), from Mike Wilbanks and have to say that his customer service is unbeatable. He's a very personable dealer and is very fair with his pricing, payment plans, etc. Speaking of payment plans, that's always an option. That's what I did to get my tiger het male from Mike. I just gave him a stated amount I'd for sure do each month, and sent any extra money I could whenever I could.

There are lots of people now breeding albino retics, so you can expect their prices to drop, and we're already seeing the beginnings of that now. I believe the cheapest I've ever seen albinos (whites and lavendars) has been around $1400 to $1500. Basically it just boils down to what bloodline you want, what name you want behind your animals, or how close to that bloodline you want (i.e. I bought this snake from a guy that got his breeders from Bob Clark, etc). Kinda weird to have "name brands" with snakes huh? lol Anyway, hope this helped.
