male female ratios

so do most people keep their animals in pairs or do they keep several females for each male?

It depends. With my normals, I put two males and four female in one large container. I really don't care who sired the clutches. With my morph(s) I like to know who the parents are. So, I pair them up.

From what I've gathered from this forum, it's best to have multiple females for each male. Not housed together, but more females for breeding purposes. If you're really serious, I'd say get 2 males of the morph you like and then 3-5 females for each of them.
