    Noob Question on Breeding

    Hi guys, I've been meaning to ask, if I have 2 males (pastel and mojave) and I have a female (spider), during breeding, if I have her locked with both males in different instances, will there be a possibility, no matter how remote it is, of:
    1. Bumblebee Mojave (pastel, mojave, spider) - mixture of the 3 genes and/or
    2. a mixture of Bumble bee and Mojave Spider in the eggs - mixture of just 2 genes of the male and female in different eggs

    Thanks in advanced for your replies. As always.

    What Barbie said ha I think if you breed two males to one girl you have a chance of both males fertilizing some of the eggs but you won't have both males fertilizing the same egg. Once the genes of one male have entered the egg the genes of another wont be able too cuz you can't fertilize an egg twice. At least that's my general knowledge when it comes to that kinda stuff. Granted still new to ball breeding but not to animal breeding (grew up with family owning farms.)

    The easy way to think about it is that males cannot mix their genes, but females can mix with several different males. A female could potentially have a different father for every egg she lays since each one has to be fertilized individually.
