Best ratio?

I like 1:2 for a ratio. But I put all my $$$ into acquiring females, and I kind of wish I had some leftover for a couple really amazing multi-gene males.

No idea what he/she is...letting it heal up from the missing skin patches it received from some terrible sheds thanks to a well-intentioned but clueless previous owner before I pop/probe it.

You need to get those 7 sexed lol!
Unless you meant 4.7.1
Which i think is what you meant?

The ratio is, however many males it takes to breed all of your females and produce the morphs and combos that you want, lol.

ATM, I have the following males: Cinnamon, Spider, Lesser-Woma, Lesser, Lesser Het Orange Ghost, Woma Het Orange Ghost, Yellowbelly, Granite, Orange Ghost, Het Albino, Het Orange Ghost Poss Het Pied, and Piebald, but not all of them are mature, yet. Only 9 are mature. I have around 21 mature females, and at least that many younger females.

i have 4 males an 19 females plus what ever hatches out this year

I have 5 males and 13 females. Although for breeding it's 2 to 5 this year.
