Why are females more expensive?

[Adam_Wysocki]

I agree, it comes down to supply and demand, and as far as $$$ goes females win.

But wouldn't you agree that at least genetically, and in regard to being able to pass on valuable genes more readily than females, the males are more valuable

I wouldn't agree.

In the short term, and if you don't have any other male mutations, it may seem that way ... but long term, making rare combinations by crossing a morph male with different morph females has far more "value".

I have a ton of morph males, and can't get enough morph females to breed them to. It's far better to breed a single male mutation to 5 female mutations than it is to 5 female normals.
