    Need some opinions

    OK Im going to the N.A.R.B.C show in tinley park in Oct and I plan on filling up my adult/juvie racks. Now I know pretty much what Im looking for but cant decide male or female. I definantly want to add clown, enchi, butter, desert, and chanpagne(among MAY others)probably wont get all of them at once because as you may know some of those are pretty expensive. I just dont know what male to female ratio I should go for. I only currently have a male spider and female normal that are of breeding size. Any opinions?dont want to make this post too long but I just want to produce some fantastic morphs!

    You want to get your females first, whatever morph(s) you decide.
    Remember it's going to take them some time to "come of age", then get your male(s)

    Remember 1 male can breed quite a few females during a season.

    Exactly as above. I would get the most reasonably priced females first. While you are raising them to breeder size, save for the expensive males, as they can pass their expensive genes to many MANY females. Some breeders with a GREAT male can breed to 8 females! Keep that in mind. You can also buy a few nice single morph females, a bunch of breeder sized females (once the nice male is up to size) and breed him to all the normal females until your others are up to size. Too many options, you have to weight them all out to your own level of goals.
