Simple answer for the Sharp pricing is that the male will simply breed fast most likely 18 months before the female will be able to breed, he would also carry a higher value because he will most likely be able to breed with multiple females creating a greater chance that he can produce more offspring therefore simply raising his value just because of breeding.

But that doesn't hold true on all animals. IE hets look at the het prices. Males are less then the females as not everyone wants to invest in the actual morph itself and will by an albino male and say two het females, thus raising the prices of the het females to a higher level then the price of the het males.

Again het males can breed multiple females but unless you have multiple female albinos the resulting offspring will for the most part (other then any albinos produced) will be possible hets thus lowering the price on het males. But het x het will still get you albinos and it is by far the most economical way to get into the albino market.

Hope this helps,
Justin
