Dana, Limburgs are currently $500US for males and $600US for females.. This is the going US rate, which actually went up last year. This is more than twice the price of Albino whitewaters which are fairly stable at $200US
There is a very long painful story of my taking possesion of these Limburgs.
I originally ordered one albino male, a definate het female and a maybe(66%) het female.
After waiting the usual 4 months for the CITES, the animals missed getting inspected in Atlanta Ga, and made the trip to Canada without a validated(stamped) permit.
They were seized by the Canadian Government, made temporary custody of the crown, and sent for a nice little winter vacation to the Toronto zoo.
They eventually were shipped back to USF&W in Atlanta where I thought the original unmarred permit would simply be stamped, as that is all that was missing the first time.
Upon their receipt in Atlanta, USF&W decided they could not re-send them on the original permit because they had already been illicitley on Canadian soil, plus they had been returned on a special Canadian CITES, which some how one-uped the original. So after two CITES were made,they still couldn't send them to me, and returned them to the US breeder.
My supplier then had to reapply to Washington all over again with a letter of explanation.
So another 4 months passed, and Washington generated what was the third CITES permit for the same animals.
So almost a full year from the day I ordered them, they eventually arrived with a validated permit and ,I got legal custody, but by that time, nobody knew which one was the het and which one was the maybe het.
Then after all this North American touring in the dead of winter, one of the females died.
So I currently have no clue whether my single female is a het or the maybe het.
Needless to say, if I get any albino babies this year, they are MINE!!!!!!!! Even female hets will likely all be kept back.
Now you know why I have no hair...
Simon when are returning to HK?
