Double Het Question

Can someone explain to me the advantage of using a double het when breeding? Is it done for financial purposes? I see a few of them on morph market for sale but most cost as much or more than a visual so it has me confused.

They're more valuable because you get a shot at a double recessive visual depending what you put it to.

I should have explained what I meant better. Say a double het axanthic. I get why someone would want something that is het for two different traits, but why double for one trait?

Double het of the same trait = visual

So breeding a double het to a normal produces visuals as well as hets?

There's no such thing as a double het of the same genet if it has a double het it's a visual it's not a double

That of course unless it's something like a double het snow. Which would be het axanthic and het albino

Gotcha! Now I see where my confusion came from. The “double” didn’t click until I actually read their ads on mm. They all have a second trait that I wasn’t taking the time to read. Nothing more to see here, move along! Lol thanks!

It happens to everyone. Glad you figured it out

Well I usually only open ads on mm that I can actually afford. Most dh snakes don’t fall into that category! But hey, you don’t know something until you ask. Thankfully the reptile community is pretty receptive to newcomers.
