Default Advice Needed

Hi again guys,
I would like to introduce another female AFT to my existing male and female who are both approx 12 to 18 months old. Would this be a wise move, and if so, how difficult would this be to carry out!:

It's not typically hard to add a female to a group. You might expect him to show her he's boss by bullying her and biting, but it should settle down. Obviously, every female you have in there with the male is one more female laying eggs in the future, so you have to think about all that goes into breeding and caring for young.

If you don't want to breed then it's better to get a second cage and put the two girls in there together and leave the male by himself.

Yeah I agree cuz when you put a male in with the females he is going to be the boss like martinotti Reptiles said so if you are looking to breed then yeah the male should be in with the females but if you really me to be honest I would not leave the females in with him for to long cuz he will give stress to the females and thats not good so as soon as he is done with them then put the girls back into thier cage if you house them togather and leave the male by himself.
