stickyalvinroll is right.
if you buy hatchlings (which is the most economical way, and avoids many risks that come with buying adults), you can buy males 1 year later than females.
but then, looking at your signature, apart from the pair of albinos, what remains is 3 females, one male spinner, and a male cinnamon. a spinner is really good for breeding, a single-gene cinnamon not so much, maybe just a few times to hit a few combos once. so with that in mind, going for all 3, one male two females, really makes sense.
one thing to consider: its a double gene male and two double gene females. also i think the females will each, or at least one of them, be more expensive as it is (just a hunch). why not go for a triple gene male, and two single gene females? it would be much cheaper, but the hatchlings would still have 2 genes on average.
or, from a slightly different angle: if you are going for a female enchi butter/lesser and a female sugar/calico + extra gene, thats some powerful females right there that will cost a bit if you look for top quality, which im sure you do. compared to that, the male doesnt look right, it seems genetically rather weak. it makes sense to make sure that the male is financially more valuable and genetically more powerful than either of the females.
so what i would do is to cut down on the females a bit and upgrade the male. or just invest more in the male. or take the budget you have for these 3 snakes, and make sure that the male gets 40% or more of it, and 30% or less of it goes to each female. its just a mathematical / statistical / pragmatic fact that you get more bang for your buck that way.
(side note: you say really good high-white sugars are hard to find.... in case you are not doing it already, just look for both, sugar and calico, i think they are the same because you can find examples of all possible optics in both lines. its just that in the specific line called sugar, the really high-white ones seem to be rather rare and expensive. so put the name aside, look for both, until you find the one that has the desired optics. same goes for lesser/butter.)
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
my favorite music video is online again, its really nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oABEGc8Dus0
