Well, here he is. If you have one post a pic of it. Does anyone know how much they are worth? If you do have one, how much did you pay for it?

He is an early 04'. Prehistoricpets.com is selling one for $200. I know their prices are high but I didn't know they addes that much on to it.

Here in Holland I can get a 'normal' leucistic Lindheimeri for about 40 euro, a pink eyed leucistic will cost me somewhere around 60 euro, about the same price I pay for a leucistic Obsoleta. I can easily find a whitesided Obsoleta for less than 100 euro. On one occassion, I could even get a nice couple of albino blotchless Obsoleta's for 50 euro each. So 200 US dollars for an albino leucistic Lindheimeri sounds quite ridiculous to me. I'm afraid you've been ripped off by these Prehistoric Pet guys. But hey, [bleep] happens, you'll get over it. Enjoy the snake!

prehistoric pets is well known for their over priced reptiles, usually 3-4 times normal price, but they are also quite well known for extremely good quality live stock, and they are well known for their reliability and good staff. for some ppl that is worth the extra price. not for me, but for some ppl.

I paid $150 for a super tame adult. Higher price, but worth it because i was so attatched to the individual snake
