Albino crested anyone?

**jadeboa** · 11-20-2005, 05:27 AM

I would like to know if there is such a thing as a true albino crested?

If yes, who has one?

there is no current reports of an albino crested but most believe that it is only a matter of time

We're all waiting for THAT one, believe me! Once someone produces the first it will be crazy after that. I sort of hope that the first one will be a male, just to shorten the availability process a bit. (Although I'm sure the price will stall the availability for me for awhile!) 8)

I personally am not a fan of albinos, I think they're unattractive. But like max said, no current known cases of albinoism in cresteds.

I can't wait for the first albino crested! I already have some money set aside for one! LoL, I kid-you-not!

I am curious what everyone would be willing to pay for one. I would be willing to pay $2,000+ for an albino crested. Even more if its the only one!!! LoL, as you can tell I really want an albino crested!

Thanks Erik

I imagine the first albinos will probably sell for more like $10,000 to $20,000.

LoL, Ok so I was only off by like $18,000. LoL. I could trade that in Ball Python Morphs! LoL.

Thanks Erik

I personally would love to see (or have) a albino crested.

But personally I think as soon as an albino comes along it will be the downfall of these geckos as all these people will come inand just flood everybody with a bunch of animals at give away prices and screw up the whole market and hobby of these geckos. Don't get me wrong I am not in this for the money (I barely sell any) but I just don't want these geckos to turn into the next leopard geckos or ball pythons.

I mean 10,000 dollars c'mon thats beyond "hobby" that is some serious money (I mean I would rather have a trachy or something truly rare) all these ball pythons are not rare I don't know why people pay so much I mean Boelons pythons (sp?) don't even cost as much as most of those ball pythons and the work it takes to breed those is remarkable I mean an 8yr. old can breed ball pythons. I am not saying I don't like these animals (I keep a few myself).

Why pay that much money for something when the owner hardly did any real work and basically just got lucky.

Sorry for the rant
