What would you get if you had 10,to 12k to spend

Is it because they are rare? I would think its because you can quickly create more bananas with a male (breeding to multiple females as soon as the male is 500g) while with a female you would only get one clutch after you waited 2 years for her to get to size.

With ball pythons, as far as i've seen, 90% of the time the female is more expensive. With bananas i've heard that it's because males are much more rare. NERD had a video about coral glows, stating that first gen coral glows only rarely throw a male. You could have 3-4 clutches from a first gen banana or coral glow and only get one or two males. Don't quote me on that 3-4 number I just know that males are rare with the first gen bananas and coral glows and you can have a few clutches with only one or two males.

There is a genetic reason males are more expensive. They are harder to produce. Taking what was said directly from Kevins mouth, Females can produce males and females, the first males produced mostly females with the extremely rare male. The rare male produced by the first male produced would produce primarily males.

And to the original question, If I was dropping 12k on a single breeding project it would be desert ghost, GHI, Spark male and yb combo females.

I could drop 12k on investment bps relatively easy, lol
