    Males mature faster and can breed to multiple females producing more offspring. It's not unusual for this to happen when a morph is popular or new. In terms of price, that is entirely up to the breeder. I've seen some large discrepencies on Calico pricing. Not too long ago they were very inexpensive. Only recently with all the fantastic combos being created have the prices gone up and stayed up there.
