Welcome to the club!



I'm sure Rob's answer "the burm that has the best value is the one that you are most interested in.") wasn't what you wanted to hear. However, he is right. Let me try to explain.



If you are only attracted to the snake for monetary gains, you will not care for it like it will need to be cared for. It will be dispensible to you, sooner or later, regardless of it's monetary value.



Now, as for which flavor of albino would have the best monetary value; in general, the one with the brightest colors and best markings. Colors & patterns (markings) go hand-in-hand.



Another thing is that albinos typically lose color as they age, becoming duller. Look at the parents and judge by that.



Rob also makes a good point when he talks of rescuing or adopting burms. The problem I've ran into with this is cost. Adoption fees of $75 and up has kept me from rescuing a few. Too bad I don't live closer to Rob.



I understand first-hand that these places need to cover their costs as funding (donations) are hard to come by. Some are like Rob, in it to do a service for the creatures that we love, while some are in it to boost their private collections or make money. I definitely recommend trying to find a reputable adoption service in your area.



Hope this helps. Ask away if you have any other Qs.



Take care!
