Most likely depends on the male!

I have seen another local breeder here in Texas have one male to like 20 females in a large vision cage setup. Not sure the male was able to fertilize all those females but the guy did get a ton of offspring from that one group. I have a few groups of 1.4 and one of 1.5 . I think thats probably pushing it really though because I have noticed a couple of female trempers in the 1.4 group have not yet layed. Thats not to say he isn't trying to mate with them. Its just that some females are easier than others. That being said if you have a few females that don't just give in he is more likely to go for the sure thing with the other females. If your worried about group breedings I would just regularly introduce the females to the males enclosure every few days and see what kind of results you get that way. I am going to take the females that have not done anything as of yet and pair them up in a nice cozy little enclosure thats just her and him. Hope this helps.
