You can't really compare recessives with co-doms.

A male het quickly outlives his usefullness after just one or two seasons. You need a male to make alll your own poss hets and produce morphs the cheap slow way. If you wanna do it faster, it costs more, get a het female. Unless there is a crisis in your life, it is very hard to justify getting rid of a proven breeder het female. That male starts taking up space awful quick.

As mentioned with co-doms, the male will produce faster and sire several clutches in 6-12 months. But, you must take into account weather that morph has a super or not. Spider and Pin females are not that much more than males, there is no visible super form. Pastels, mojaves, lessers, etc... are typically a little more than males. I'd never own 10 male lessers, I'd make magic happen whit 10 females though...lol So, there is one aspect of the differnce in demand. The champagne is another story, I don't have one so, I'm going off of what I read. Males are in short supply it seems, Everyone wants a male Champagne weather they knw it or not..lol If there is more of one sex available than the other, there is a good chance there will be a variant in the price.
