Just starting to breed, how many normal females?

[euphuistical]

I currently have a breedable pastel male and two breedable normal females. I can get two 1200g normal females for a baby (100g) female pastel.

I am thinking this is a good idea. I have a female mojave and female spider that will be ready to go next season. Seems like having 3-4 normal females hanging around is always a good thing, especially considering my next purchase will be another co-dom male.

Is this sound advice for a person just getting in to breeding balls?

thanks,
peace

It is entirely up to what you want to work on.
Personally, I want to make as few normals as possible, so I do not have normals in my collection.
It's all personal preference.
