I have no experience with milks or kings, I have pythons and a mangrove but I came across a baby albino sinloan x tri-color today for $60.00. Is that a good buy, seems to be but not sure. Again, never owned a milk or a king before but wanted to know what you guys thought. It was an accident, the breeder threw two adults in together for a short time due to space problems and boom, they were all locked up. So he has four babys and offered one to me for less than he was asking. They're beautiful, just wanted to know what you guys thought. Thank you in advance, Eric-

It's a controversial subject. Personally, I'd wait: any of the various pure forms is beautiful too. Why start with a mixed breed when you could have an animal that is an example of something that exists naturally, in the wild? Especially if you plan to breed i'd encourage you to wait for a pure animal. If you're just looking for a pet and don't plan to ever breed it, that's a good destination for the hybrids that are produced. (btw, sinaloan is a subspecies but tricolor is just a color descrption that could fit any of several dozen different subspecies. So if you DO get this animal, try to find out exactly what it's a mix of.)
