    Question about Highways!
    So I've been browsing some classifieds and kingsnake, and I've noticed that it seems that male Highways are more expensive than the females. Is there something with the morph that make the females less valuable as breeders (I know coral glows/bananas have the "female maker" and "male maker", something like that)? Anyone know about these?

    Well since it's codom, having a male means you can spread those genes fast into your collection. Whereas a female would take years to grow up first, putting you behind the curve.

    Exactly. When genes are still relatively new and uncommon, males are more expensive because they are far more valueable for the fact that they can produce a whole bunch of the new gene right off the bat. After several years of the price dropping females become more valuable, because there are always more males available than females (supply and demand) and you need females to go for supers and super combos.

    Awesome! Thanks guys! i've never really paid attention to the market on new morphs, as I can't afford them anyways, but this one caught my eye for some reason.
