Alba the Albino

Not sure on their pricing for albinos, but I imagine it would be considerably less if their bumblebees are only $500 each, male OR female.

Beautiful girl though Kayla, keep the pics coming

Not necessarily true. An albino is recessive and a bumblebee is a co-dom/dom animal. They work differently and recessives tend to hold their prices longer so yes $500 is pretty average for a female albino.

Also, reputable, not anymore...

Yes, my mistake, I asked around about that and was told just what you said. I shouldn't have assumed that the albino BP morph was comparable to the market value of albino boas - I'm not a python girl, so I have no idea.

But not reputable anymore? I strongly disagree, as would many others. I hope you can provide something factual to back up that statement...

I take it by your lack of response that you can provide no supportive "evidence" to your defamatory statement. I'm actually studying internet law, social media and defamation right now at my firm, and I am not in any way trying to be rude, or argue, but defamation is very serious, especially when it can impact someone's livelihood by tarnishing their good name. Urban Reptile has a very good name, I can vouch for them myself after 4 (soon to be 5) beautiful boas from them, all in perfect health, all exactly what they were marked as (morphs and sexes), perfect sheds, no mites, not a scratch/kink, never missed a meal, etc. And I definitely asked around about them and did my research before my first purchase. Since then, I have only heard good things about them, and after many conversation with the owner and staff, my high opinion & respect for Urban Reptile has only grown.

Yes, I am defending them - but I welcome you, or anyone else to give me a reason not to. Factual statements are not defamatory.

kat, he hasn't been on since an hour after he posted.
He said in another thread he's not nearly as active as he used to be on the forum.

Thank you for telling me that - then I guess we will wait and see what he says when he comes back. Again, not looking to "start something" just standing up for a breeder I trust and I don't want to see a good name trashed without good reason.

I can't deny the possibility that someone had a bad experience with them, of course, that would be ignorant. So, I will patiently await an answer.

I too would like to know what that comment was directed at, as I was almost considering buying from them. Decided to go with Shane at Legend Boas though because he had the Lesser girl I wanted.

Shane's awesome, I've bought 2 boas from him so far - real nice guy to deal with, and I love how willing he is to provide very in-depth and knowledgeable answers to questions on genetics, opinions, etc. - what I mean is he'll give you the "time of day" instead of just brushing you off once the sale is over. Actually, the very first boa I ever bought was from him, a Lipstick Sunglow (poss super) and he's doing great, only looking better with age. The second one I'll be picking up at the Ajax show this Sunday, actually - so excited!

When we were at the Expo in Montreal I took a very close look at what they had, sadly they didn't have anything I wanted at the time that I could afford, but I must agree with Kat. I've seen all her Boa's, as well as the animals they bring to Expo's and I have to say that they have some very nice looking animals.. When the time comes they are definitely going to be some of the first people I look to buy some of my future purchases from..
