HYPOMELANISTIC het. LAVENDER cotton candy pattern
I came across this morph and fell in love I just hope they are not to pricey as I really want at least one of these.

yep, pretty!

Since it's in a diff country, it's hard to say what the price range will be. Here in the states, I would think the hypo lavenders are going to drop in price this year, but still be in the hundred dollar range. I got my two pairs of hypo lavs from Rich's 25 percent off sale he's got going on. So only paid 75 each for those. And they are both doing great! Now I'm up late at night, hoping the little hypo lav female Connie has sent me is doing fine, along with her hypo sister and phantom female. *sigh* isn't waiting fun? Here's one of my hypo lavs.

I just got a price back he is asking 45 pounds for them not a bad price at all considering the local pet shop is selling an amel for 49.99. With the price so low I have asked for both a male and a female I just could not resist. I will also be buying my amel tomorrow as well.

Hypos het lavender are nothing 'special', and the price will reflect that. I wouldn't envision spending more than $50 for a hypo het lavender when I can get a hypo lav for $100.

You're not taking into account the fact that the same snake might be priced differently in a different country. You pay about the equivalent to about US$150 for a hatchling lav with no hets around here.

You're not taking into account ....snake might be priced differently in a different country.

You pay about the equivalent

You remind me always of how well educated the Swedish are on the English language.. Kuddos to you about that..

And about the genes being available overthere I know what you talk about. In 2003 I bought my first Lavender. I bought them from Marc Vervest from belgium. He was the first person I know who bred lavenders on a good scale. They where around 150 euros at that time. I think you would pay less than half of that today since almost every corn enthousiast has Lavender in his collection. I am going for Hypo Lavender this year and hopefully lavender Motley next year.

I can't take too much credit...I am Aussie after all!

-that said, the Scandinavians in general are very good at English due to the fact that pretty much all English language TV shows are subtitled rather than dubbed. In Germany and Italy they're all just dubbed and there's a marked difference in the English language ability of the general population.

I'll have to get in touch with Marcel too...it sounds like he might have something of interest to me too!

This is your opinion & it reflects this 'morphs' general availability in the U.S., however, judging by the popularity of the hatchlings - selling out in record time in '05 - the Lavender gene is not so prolific here in the U.K.

Princess Is quite correct in her assessment of prices & I do not wish to go into detail here, however, quotations on some of the more elusive 'morphs' can be rather exorbitant dependent upon the country of orgin.

Yes, Marcel I too have some stock imported from Marc........a pair of Opals who present with the beautiful pinks & orange that is so desirable in the cultivar. They will be sufficiently mature for 2007 breedings.

The Hypomelanistic Lavender male who has produced the het. hatchlings will come into his own in 2007 when he will be mated to a number of interesting Lavender & Opal females.

He is, without a doubt, going to be the 'spearhead' of many projects in our Collection.

oww I really hate the dubbed TV-shows, I'm glad that Holland also belong to the subbed "group" just like the Scandinavians :grin01:
to bad I've got dyslexia, therefor my language still is terrible... :eek1:

In Holland i think you'll pay approx. 125Eur. for a hypolav. this year

45 quid for that snake in the UK is a good price indeed. As already mentioned, bog standard amels often sell for more than that over here. I've even seen normal hatchlings at only a fiver less than that ....

You can't compare UK and US prices directly. Everything in the corn snake market over here is more expensive and less common morphs are far less available than they are Stateside.

Go for it I say ....

 

[sarah s]

I plan on going for it they are expected in august so i have a while to wait and save up and get nice vivs etc for them in the mean time. I hope to be getting my amel today as well though I dont think i will bring it home till I got the viv all sorted out I dont want to rush the viv set up although I already have the basic needs for the viv I think i want to do something a bit more complex for my first time round.

 

[snake5007]

that picture at the top of the first page of this thread is a hypo lav,not a hypo het.lav! that picture is what you would get by breeding two hypo het.lavs together! i know,because i might be getting a pair aswell,from the same place!

 

[sarah s]

Then you will also know that lower down on that page he has some hypo het lavs from last years clutch and it was those I was refering to as hypo hets.

Yes, I know you did. Do you know the banner on my website is actually a Hypo Lavender male from Marc (still in possesion of Marc).. It is one of my favorite corns I have ever seen.

I mean this one:

 

[snake5007]

oooooppppsss! sorry! i've put my foot in it again! :sidestep: :grin01:

 

[snake5007]

talking about hypo lavs, i've got a book written by R.D Bartlett and Patricia Bartlett,and it says in there,and i quote: "these are marketed as amber corn snakes" it's my opinion that this book is mistaken.does anyone else think so? :shrugs:

if it says that then yes its wrong. ambers are hypo caramels.

 

[snake5007]

yes,it definitely states that hypo lavenders are sold as ambers,i think this is quite misleading,although it is probably a genuine mistake,if i was new to the hobby this would cause more confusion than necessary! i'm sorry,but i just don't see how someone who supposedly knows what they're doing can make such a mistake! man it makes me angry! :realhot: :headbang: :madeuce: :angry01:

Well folks, when the person making a post doesn't specify a location, it's hard to tell where they are from.

And yes, I understand many morphs are not so readily available in Europe.
