Reptile man, unfortunately if the guy has the animals, and you cannot source them anywhere else, he is the King, also like BV said he has put in a considerable amount feeding and maintaining the animal till it is sold. I know of one albino in Cape Town for sale, and the guys here that knows can correct me if Im wrong, I think its R3500? and its not an adult yet. BUT it is the only one I have seen for sale here! yet at r15 a large rat, what do you think its costing them to feed that animal, as well as house it?
Getting them from say JHB is an idea, it will then cost you the travelling which is R135, import permit from Cape nature R80, export permit from Gautend R50, and then probably you have to get it to the airport in gauteng which means an additional R100 or so for courier, and you need a proper container to transport the snake, and add the additional little charges and and and..... so unless you have a saving of R600, you might as well pay whatever is being asked here! (I am currently going through this process, so I know what it will cost) for me its worth it, Im saving R700 on the snake!
If it hasnt yet, it will!
