How I see it (and I could be completely off) at least with recessive genes...there will always be more male hets on the market than female hets - supply & demand. More than likely to get those hets, someone bred their male recessive morph to 1 or more normal females. All the het male babies are not needed as the father is a visual. The person is probably keeping the female hets to breed back to the sire.

The "more males on the market" than females deal probably stands true for all the morphs, as most people keep some/all their females to breed in the future, and usually keep one (or none) of males produced. It doesn't make sense for someone to have three male mojaves - but it's sure nice to have three females!
