Very good point, but on the other hand that would make males more valuable. For example, male het. pieds cost almost as much as a normal nowadays and females are almost 4X as much. Is this because the females grow larger, thus larger clutch, or is there some genetic advantage the females have over the males? And I have seen a snow ball male that cost $1000 more than a litter mate female, is this because they are homozygous for that morph? As you can see I am somewhat perplexed by this. The answer is probably staring me right in the face but hey I enjoy a good discussion, please join in!!
