Heterozygous vs. Homozygous

After some consideration I decided that this was the proper forum for this...

How are 66% poss. het for a mutation snakes usually priced vs. homozygous snakes exhibiting a gene?

Does it depend on the over all price of the homozygous-type snakes or is it usually only a couple dollars more than a normal? Or is it the same as a normal?

Seeing as you can't tell normals from the hets I would imagine that seeing as 2/3 hatchlings carry the gene for a mutation the hatchlings would be a small fraction more in cost than just a normal, as it's kind of a gamble.

Does it depend on the species? The mutation?

If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
