When buying a male, at what age/weight do you feel you reach a point of diminishing returns to pay more to get a larger animal? I understand it may be worth it for someone to pay more to get a 1200 gram male as opposed to the 400gram one, and the 1200gram boy should be a more prolific breeder. Once you get up over 1200 to 1500 grams, I wonder really if it is worth that much more at this point? It certainly isnt a exponential factor where you see a 1200gram male selling for much, much more than one half the size.

A female, of course, because she will throw more eggs, but the male not so much I dont think.
