normal females are a good way to cheaply drive up the amount of clutches and eggs. whats nice is that you can get older, big proven breeder females rather cheaply.

but of course morphs are better. there is nothing 20 normal females can do that 20 single, double and triple gene females cannot do.

and if one wants to get into a super expensive project, i would prefer to have nice combo females ready before taking the economic plunge. if you buy a GHI, you will want more than clutches of normals and GHIs, you want some combos.

then there are two things normal females cannot do, never ever, and that is producing supers or combos with supers (BEL, killerbee, etc), and producing visual recessives.

that being said, nice big females for 100 each still sounds like a good deal, they will be helpful until morph females are raised up and breeding and producing large clutches.
