I am just starting to get in to breeding. Only have one male at the moment, a pastel. I already have two breeding sized femalees, and a smaller spider and mojave female.

Would getting a couple more breeding sized females for this season be a good idea, or is it better to incest in some baby female morphs of some type.

For example, should I trade my 110g female pastel for two breedable normals? It seems like a good idea, but I'm not really sure and I need some advice. I know normals really aren't in much of a demand now, and even if I breed them with say a male spider or mojave I will still be "stuck" with half the babies being normals which may be a pain to sell at a price that is worth my while.
