Breeding Plans Ok? Suggestions

So i am just getting into breeding BPs and after much thinking, reading, and listening i have come up with the following. First off i am only going to start off with 5-8 animals and purchase 5 more every year that follows.

The current 5 i plan to breed and own at this moment.
1.0 Pastel Lesser
0.1 Pinstripe
0.1 Spider
0.1 Enchi
0.1 Mojave

This will be my first "Breeding Project". Im not looking for suggestions on the morphs themselves because i know what i would like to produce. I guess i am asking if this ratio of male to female will work or if i should possibly add another male just in case. 8 Bps would be the absolute max i want to start with. Racks, food and the snakes themselves cost a pretty penny. Plus putting aside $ for the vet if something were to come up. I think that the morphs i have now can produce some pretty cool combos and i would definatley Hold Back the higher end combos for future breeding and sell the rest. Depending on how many clutches i get and how rich those clutches are. My guess would be 2 maybe 3 cluthes out of 4 females, but i could very likely get 1 or none. The way i see it is if i want to get moving a little faster along, it would help alot to be as succesfull as possible with my first Season. If there are any suggestions people could give me to create a higher success rate my first attempt/season at breeding, i would be very grateful and forever in your debt. LOL.

I'd add another male to back up your primary in case he's shy, lazy, a late bloomer, shoots blanks, wears down, etc...

I also suggest getting another male.....possibly a black pewter?

x3 on having a second male as a back up, and possibly for "who's your daddy" clutches.

If I was you and considering a second male a Pastel Enchi would not be a bad choice with those females or a Pastel Mojave
Travis
Lair of Dragons

I would go with enchi YB or enchi fire :gj:.

Go big or go home right? ;)

I also agree with adding a back up 2 gene male.
Something w/ yellowbelly or fire to enhance your current morphs.

Black PastelxFire or Black PastelxYellowbelly.
They are hot!!

Agree with the rest, adding a second or even third male is a good idea. A Firefly or Bee would also be good choices along with the other two gene males people have already suggested. GL!

Or maybe people just assumed he meant that for the snakes he already had listed there. And seeing as many people suggested adding another male, we would also be nice and give him some ideas of what to possibly get. Nothing wrong in getting/giving new ideas.

To be honest, I saw everyone posting suggestions so I went and posted mine :D. I went back to read his full post to see if he already stated one of my suggestions as I saw nobody else suggested what I did.. But nope.. I figure I'd leave 'em there :gj:.

Even though I have plans, sometimes someone else's suggestion changes my plans because it's such a good one ^_^

No worries, i know that no matter what is posted, people like to share their ideas and thoughts on things. I had a second male in mind already ( Black Pastel YB ), but thanks for the suggestions. I figured i should do that. The reason i said 5 was because that is how much the rack holds, now with getting another male to put in my 3 slot rack, that leaves me 2 empty slots and it will eat me up. So i guess i will be starting with 8, hahahah.

I know you don't want morph suggestions, but with those two empty spots I would get proven breeder normal females that would be ready to breed immediately. That might help kickstart your buisness. :)
