Albino Green Tree Pythons!

[Jeremy Kriske]

There are no confirmed hets as of yet. They are all still just pos hets. I've seen some 50% pos hets advertised at 12.5K USD. Only 2 albinos have been produced, and niether has been sold. They are still in the breeder's collection. One of those breeders had his at a show marked for 100K, but nobody bought it.

$150 000?

 

[Chimera]

Doesn't surprise me, not only is it pot luck to identify the albino hets but to be able to do this in the US market in First Gen captives with known and documented locality is a pretty decent feat.

I'd be interested to see whether the Barkers are also developing this in-house

$150 000?

No definately $15,000 US, which is a lot because they're normal everyday GTP sell for around $700 US, a rough conversion equals about $1,000 - $1,200 AUD.

Want to move to the US yet!?? lol

even though we cant import foreign snakes into Australia. because the green tree python is native would we be aloud to import one of them.

nope... no reptiles in or out of australia legally. It would be a papuan gtp anyway so not really native.
