Male to female ratio for breeding programs?

I attended the Atlanta Repticon show today and found it to be quite a bit better than it has been in the past. There was quite a good representation of snake breeds other than ubiquitous ball pythons and BRBs, with a good number of different colubrid and hognose snakes on display. That said, I ended up purchasing another female Honduran Milk snake for my future breeding project. I was wondering what ratio is optimum for a breeding program? I currently have two males and three females. I only have room for five snakes, so I have to sell one of my other snakes to make room for this new female. I was planning on selling one of my males which would leave me with one male and four females. Is this an acceptable ratio or should I sell one of my females and maintain two males with three females? Any insights and recommendations would be very much appreciated.
