It probably depends more on the interest the particular species has in the hobby and the availability of WC specimens. As I recall, it wasn't long ago that cresties were pretty rare and almost entirely WC, and now there are even too many of CBs and almost no WCs (if any at all).

Hey, I agree 100%! I am just stating what seems to be true. Cresties were bred though because there was money to be made! They were expensive creatures many years ago. But a CB house gecko won't be worth anything. Just the reality of it.

Ooops I replied to the post that was sent to my email!! Either way...it's about the $$

I'm not really into breeding things because I feel like it's usually unecessary, but someday, I'd like to get to breed something that's not very common in the hobby, like the Australian thorny devil.



Would be epic.
