I'm going to start this by saying that I love all bp morphs.

That being said, is a male normal really worth anything to a breeding program? I'm fairly new to bp genetics, but it seems like most of the prevalent morphs rely on normal females, not males. Just how useful are normal males? I have a baby normal that I love, and I think that it might be a male. He's got a great jungle pattern and is very dark/greyish--very pretty, but as a beginning hobbyist I want to keep animals that I can start my breeding program with. Can I consider this guy as a part of my future program, or should he be more suited as a pet? Thanks for any input.
