So if sex ratios are skewed to have more males than females. What's the correct number to buy?
I know in the fish, herp, frog world 6 was always the minimum number to get at least one pair. Of course buying 8 virtually assured getting at least one of the opposite sex.
But males mature so much faster than females. So what's the formula? Buy 6 or 8 T's, grow them up for a few years to get at least one female and then buy another 6 or 8 and raise them up so you can het at least one male to mate with the older female?
I'm interested in what experienced breeders do.
I guess this also helps to explain the constant flow of adult imports coming into the country. Mature females are at a premium.
