Re: I wish..........

The lizard is unreal, imo gtp's are going to get dirt cheap with all the morphs slowly coming out in them. If i were to get a pair myself i would go a blue adult or albino adult pairing and try and cash in on the money before it disapears.
I know what you mean about space Rob, im getting close to full here now.

seriously? GTPs hold their value because not many people can just jump in on them with the disappointing, "cash in on the money" attitude and produce a crap load of hatchlings.

if you can find a blue adult, male or female, it definitely wont be dirt cheap and as for the albino, you wouldnt even consider purchasing one before you sold off your house so that you can afford it.

its not about the money. if you dont love em at 10,000 you wont love em at 1,000 and you definitely wont give a $hit about the damn thing at 100.

Re: I wish..........

Rob, if they look good and are healthy, i woud definitely pick up that pair of GTPs. they're still very young so you dont even need to start thinking about breeding them for a good few years. you have lots of time to just care for them and watch them grow and research everything you need to know. by the time that they may be able to breed you should be able to afford whatever supplies you need.

how big are the enclosures that they come with and how are they heated?

Mate over here true pure aussie gtps were over $10000 a couple of years ago for a hatchie, now you can get one $2000. Non natives over here you can get $1000 and even those used to be worth close to $10000. The prices attached to these guys are dropping and dropping fast, yes they are still a high priced animal but if you want them to only make cash then dont bother buying normals!!!! Like everything else in our hobby they are dropping in price because they are becoming more attainable for every one and are breeding easier for everyone.
Dont get me wrong i love these snakes, but i dont consider them worthy of their price tags to be honest and if i wanted to make money i would as i said buy an albino or a blue pairing. Its a short term loss for a long term gain, if i had the money sitting here for an albino pairing i would go for it. As you would make the money back ten fold in the future breedings ( obviously dependent on that pair breeding).
