    M

    Hi guys, need you all to shed me some light, I can't really get an answer from a pairing of male lesser and bumblebee to a female normals. What are my odds for the offspring?

    I see many people did pair 2 males to a female and get some really interesting stuff out of it. Just curious how it works?

    Cheers

    If you want to look at statistics, you have to do individual breeding charts for both males first, and the divide the odds by two. So you would have about a 25% chance of getting a lesser, 12'5% chance of pastel, spider, and bumblebee (each, not all together) and 37.5% chance of wild type. I believe that is what your odds are, but have not bred myself so someone with more experience should chime in, too.

    Re: M

    You could get lessers, spiders, pastels, normals, and bumlebees. Either one or both males could father the clutch but each individual egg would only have one father so there is no way possible for you to get a combo with the lesser involved in it. I do not know the odds because there are to many variables involved with this such as only one of the 2 siring the clutch even though both were bred to her. If you are short on breeding females then put both to her and hope for the best but if you have multiple breeding females then there is no real reason to go for a dual sired clutch IMO.
    Knowledge is earned not learned.

    Re: M

    Assuming each egg has a 50/50 shot at each father

    Percent Fraction Traits
    12.5% 1/8 Bumblebee
    12.5% 1/8 Pastel
    12.5% 1/8 Spider
    25% 1/4 Lesser Platinum
    37.5% 3/8 Normal
