Sorry to get you hopes up when you saw the title. :shock: This isn't an unveiling of an 'secret' albino scrubby.

I was just pondering when (I say when because if enough are bred over time, eventually one will pop out somewhere), they become available to the public, will they be popular? Expensive? Kept for a while until reality kicks in and are then offloaded? I believe it has been proven over time that alot of people get scrubbies, then they get BIG most seem to lose interest because they can't handle them as easily anymore, or they cost too much to fed. I'm not saying this is the case for all scrubby owners. It's just I've noticed that the trend seems to be people like the idea of getting a BIG snake until it gets BIG.

I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on how\if this would affect the market of these guys when they show up????

By the way I think an albino Scrubby would look amazing. :shock:

Corey.
 
There is one in captivity now.
I'm not sure if it did breed this year. The person who owns it is one of the most experienced keepers in the country, so no doubt they will pop up in the not to distant future
 
Wow that's great news. I can't wait to see pics. Anyone have any pics? Also my question still remains how do you think the market will play out for these guys?
 
they will of course be a big hit at start, as they are a new albino. But i think that they wont be as popular as albino darwins etc. I think they will be much more of an exotic collectors item..never the less if i could afford one i would be all for it. imagine the patterns ..........
 
LOL... better than a Darwin.. on par with a spotted... but I say it's better than the Albino woma :D

Shame PP ssshhhh!!!!!
 
When they come into the market the first ones will easily fetch $10,000+
As green trees were at one stage, albino olives, and albino darwins werent too far behind...
A lot of people want it and a small amount is available means very high price, with anything.

Cant wait to see pics!
 
pics or it didn't happen :)

Don't be naive Kurto, you won't see any pics because the owner has got his head screwed on the right way. Is there any point in continuing this thread?
 
Ha! If I can't stir the pot, what's the point of this forum!
 
LOL You can stir the pot as much as you like but you won't stir up any pics or info.
