 What do you think?

"hi everyone, I have a reg. tger striped BP and am soon getting a white/spotted BP(female) not sure what u call those. And I also really want to get a pastel BP. My question is should I get another male or female? I have a male already, I’ll be getting the female soon. But the 3rd one, is the one I need advice on, I have decided the color I want(paste) with the beautiful lemon color. Is it better to have 2 males and 1 female or 2 females 1 male or does it really matter? Thanx for taking the time to read this..."

I would say it depends on whether you intend to extend the collection even further for breeding. If you do intend to get more, i’d say go with females as you want a good head start with them to get them up to weight. If you wish to stick at 3 snakes and wish to breed them, then personally i’d go with one female and 2 males. That way when you breed them you can alternate the males in with her.

My reasoning behind this is that you can not 100% guarantee that one male will do the job, but the down side is that you will not know exactly what will be born.
