IMO, go ahead and get the male. Unless you know someone with boas that would be willing to do the breeder loan. And of course someone you trust. Just getting the females with the intent of finding somewhere/one to loan them out could put you in a situiation where you have the females and nowhere to loan them out. Even if you do know someone, do they have an available compatible male to the morphs you have.

If you do know someone to loan them out to, then breeder loans can work out great. Again, IMO, Document the loan in writing. No matter how friendly/close you two are. Not even so much to cover yourself but to make certain the details are understood by both parties. You don't want to cause bad blood later due to a misunderstanding in the loan details.
