I just had a little question.. Again.. I seem to have a lot of these recently.. *cough*
I'm off to PRAS on Sunday (woohoo!) and I am hoping to pick up a western hognose and a leopard gecko (or two!). I was wondering what I would be looking to pay for each of these.
What would be a sensible sort of price to pay for a western hognose, preferably male, het's don't particularly matter ?
And the same for a juvenile (I hope!) leo, either gender, normal and/or albino morphs?
Need to count out my pennies! |

Hmmm.. I'm starting to think that we need a battle-plan. Going to have to team up and move together, someone also need to bring along a small child that's willing to start some high-pitched screaming on request in exchange for sweeties.. 
I feel your rage at idiots with pushchairs. So. Irritating.
Nice one on the super cheap hatchies though! |

I missed out on a sub-adult female for 35 quid at the last PRAS show, some berk decided he was gonna get in everyones way with a chuffing pushchair. Ended up getting a hatchie female for 35.
The year before that we got some hatchie leopard geckos for 15 quid each.

Thanks, Figs! :D I feel more prepared!
Uma and bill: Yessss! I have seen how supremely pricey some of the hognose morphs can get! A little bit scary!
I'm hoping to get myself a tremper albino of some kind. From what I've read they appear to be one of the most 'common' albino morphs, and I really like how they look, so I guess that's a bonus? xD
I was assuming that I would be looking to pay something around £30 for a young leo, so I guess I was aiming at around the right sort of price. :] |

they both tend to vary in price depending on the morph, geckos are anything from £20 upwards i paid £25 for mine. im not to sure about hoggies but i saw albino ones at the Donny show for £130. |

From what i've seen they tend to be more or less the same price
Adult females may be a little more expensive for fancy morphs, but for juvenile 'low end' morphs they should be about the same  |

Thank you Figs and Mamma! :]
Just hoping for a rough idea of what sort of price range I'll be looking at.
Out of interest, Figs, I notice that there tends to be a slightly higher price on female snakes (only looked at corns and hoggies), does that trend also apply to leos, if you know? Only ask as (if I get a pair) ideally I'd like a pair of ladies. |
