I was thinking about mentioning the male / female ratios with Banana / Coral Glow but that was a little more involved than the original question. You should in theory get the same number of morph combos when breeding a two gene male and two gene female no matter which one is male or female (not considering the sex ratios of the babies coming from Bananas, all other morphs would come out the same). The sex ratios of Bananas is a whole different level of complexity. I have a male coral glow, not sure if it's a male maker or female maker. I should find out this year as I'm pairing him up to two females, should be interesting!
Normally the max for breeding a male is five females, but I have seen videos of breeders that showed their breeding charts. I stopped the video and counted the females from their one male, he had 16 females! Not sure how successful that would be. Normally you want to have at least one lock per month per snake. So if you gave that male one female per day with weekends off, assuming the occasional lock would set you back, it would be pairing every female just once per month. That would have to be a lock every single time for all snakes every month for a good success rate, pretty much impossible. I doubt that more than half of them would take, probably most would have a few good eggs and slug out the rest. I think the best success rate would be 2-3 females per male.
