The average online price for fresh babcocki (normal) leopards tends to hover around $130. The price for this type is all over the place depending on the seller and time of year, with lows in the $80's and highs as much as $200.

I haven't paid much attention to the South African variety sales lately, but last I was interested they averaged $300, give or take $50 depending on the seller.

like Neal said babcocki usually range 100-150 from most sources. I would be REALLY hesitant paying anything under $100 because it would likely mean your getting a failing animal and not a solid hatchling.

PP babies have dropped slightly in price over the last 2yrs. They used to retail consistently between $300-$400 pr baby but lately it's been more like $200-$300 pr baby

Not true in all cases. I prefer to sell my babies to forum members who have done their homework on the needs of a leopard, so I always sell below $100 to them, and my babies are never compromised. I have also seen members on this forum spend well over $100 and still received a failing baby.

Cost is a factor, but finding a reputable source is more important in the long run.

So that's why I had a difficult time selling robust three month olds at $85 each, you thought they were losers and not simply a good deal. I see how it is. LOL

Very true . I just meant in general. Of course forum members are the ideal sources for babies.
