Because of the red eyes it's an albino.
I've seen them on Kingsnake for around 2500Yup, it's an albino sulcata. Upon checking the price... It's expensive than a Rolex Submariner like $9000.
Maybe it's due to supply and demand.
How much do you think its fair value?
How does it work when you have an albino species but also requires UVB?
Oh how gorgeous! Love his/her colour.I saw this online and I can't afford it... But very rare and very beautiful!

Lol what is this? i know what you mean
Though very expensive, I think that $2,500 is much less than I've seen others go for.I just bought 4 of them each $2500. So far they are doing very well. Currently I soak them under the morning sun and will add sunning time in a well protected outdoor cage (partially shaded) when the sun is still low. I'd like to do it around 9am for 30 minutes each day. Hopefully it will not be too bright so their eyes will be ok. So much to learn. If they are doing ok, then hopefully I'll have something worth sharing in this forum. I am just a newbie.
I think that caring for Albinos has been a subject of conversation before.
I'd research it soon. That's quite an investment.
Ooh that's a very good advice. Accuweather! Never thought about it before. So what's a good uvb number fred?I don't know about 9 a.m sun. But i sunbath mine (reg sulcata) from 7.30 to 8.30 a.m or 8.00 to 8.30 a.m every day. It's not enough. His shell get soften. I heard about low uvb index in the morning. The best is 11 a.m to 2 p.m. but it is damn hot, and 12 to 1 probably too high i don't know.
This only apply to Indonesia. You can refer to accuweather.com or similar to check on the uvb level through out the day.
Again i don't know about 9 a.m. just sharing so you can aware of it. but take a carefull feel about their shell. If it feels softer overtime. Maybe you need to do it at 10 a.m
