Whats the most common and most affordable double recessive? And are both the same?

[Pythonfriend]

I was tempted to hijack a different thread for this, i have been wondering about this for a while now.

Some double recessives are amazingly expensive, while others are surprisingly affordable.

My question is which double recessive project would be the most affordable to buy into. And the second question is, could it be that some double recessive projects are quite common and many people work with them, but they are still very expensive simply because they look amazing? And that the most affordable double recessives may be some really unusual stuff that did not turn out to be that visually appealing?

Or is the market for different individual double recessive project too small so that the prices are quite unpredictable and all over the place?

I believe the most common double recessive is Albino Pied (especially if you count the normal Albino Pied combination and the Dreamcicle, Lavender Albino and Pied). The 2 cheapest double recessive projects that I have seen are Caramel Glow (Caramel Albino and Hypomelanistic) and True Ghost (Hypomelanistic and Axanthic). I have also seen that Snow (Albino and Axanthic) have not cost too much. I think that Albino Pied and Hypomelanistic Pied are the two more common double recessive projects that I have seen on the more expensive side. I think that is because of what you said, that while some big breeders are working with these 2 projects, they are visually stunning.

I think albino pieds are the most common. Both because they look great and because both genes are at a price point that a lot of people are working with them.

I think snows are the most reasonably prices. They do not visually appeal to as many people.

Most common I would agree the albino pied, most affordable I have seen is a snow

Ive seen a few double recssives wit OG x more common recessives for pretty cheap

I can't imagine anything would be cheaper than a Genetic Stripe Orange Hypo/Hypo, but there certainly aren't many of them lol

I saw snows advertised at $600 at tinley in October. Is there anything else cheaper?

I think the other thing that plays a role is the value of the genes involved. For example, het Clowns and visual Clowns are pricier than het Ghosts and Ghosts. So I'd expect a double recessive involving the Clown gene to be pricier.

I would say axanthics, orange ghosts, and albinos are probably some of the least priced recessives around. Pick your mix and match.

thanks for all the responses

so from what i learned, its the value and quality of the genes involved, and its also really important how good the double recessive combination looks like.
