Re: leukistic female smooth newt

The reptile and amphibian hobbyist trade is big buisiness and extremely high prices can and have been made for new colour and pattern morphs of all species and combinations there of. We are talking upto and possibly exeeding 100,000 pounds. hybrids such as burmese crossed with african rock albino also fetch high prices so yes they can be highly sought after and lucrative and a black market does and will exist!
