I found a guy, a weeks ago, looking to rehome a male/female pair of Retics, on Craigslist. I shot him an email, saying I was interested, till I found out the price...because of what they are. $1500 was asking price, which I can't afford. I thanked him for his time, apologized and declined.
A few days later, I got an email saying he really needed to unload them and that out of the 20 or so people who emailed him, I was the only one that knew what I was talking about and appreciated his snakes for what they were. He offered them for $1200 and again, I had to turn him down.
Thurs, he emailed again saying that his infant daughter has been in the hospital for the past 3 months and he really needs them gone...and he offered them to me, for free!!
I went and picked them up today and they are rediculous!...a male Albino Tiger and a female Sunfire, het for albino. The tiger, alone, is worth over $1000. The het Sunfire, is somewhere between $3000 and $6000. They're both around 6' to 8'.
PICS!
First is the Albino Tiger...he has a great full dorsal stripe. He has some mites, but it shouldn't be too hard to treat him.
And, the female Sunfire. I called Greg, from The Retic Ranch (who the guy got the snakes from) and he did confirm that she's 100% het for albino. That makes her a $6500+ snake.
When I breed these two, I'll produce Albino Sunfires, Albino Suntigers, Albino Super Suntigers...$15,000+ snakes.
