    You already have a very male hefty list.
    The only female that would really make me say go for it is your Orange Ghost since every baby would be guaranteed het OG.

    There are better options for you as a breeder in pairing males you already own to the females you already own.

    I would recommend really looking at the options you have listed here and make a plan for what you really want to do.

    For example, my main projects are broken down into:
    BEL and Orange Ghost
    Pied and Urban Camo

    Any little ones that may seem like one offs fit into those projects somehow.
    For example, I have a hypo cinny female that it het for Gstripe. I picked up a gStripe male so I can make GStripes het for hypo for my BEL/OG group.
    I picked up my first axanthic and first albino last month! They both fit into my pied project as one is het and the other is visual.

    Where would you see this male fitting best? It doesn't really feel like he makes a good BEL choice as you already have a BEL male to guarantee at least a single gene in the offspring. Same goes for the yellow belly gene... you have a super stripe male. Even on the OG female, you have a OG male already.

    Also... I'm not saying normals are bad. They can be gorgeous. But for breeding they can be more difficult to place after. Or just means you won't be able to gross as much on the offspring. I try to make sure that one clutch will at least make back the purchase of an animal or feed a good amount of my collection. At least that's my hope!
