    Noob question
    So....say i have a spider female. One week she locks with a clown, the next she locks with a fire. Could the offspring be potentially fire spider het clowns, or will only one of the genes be present? Help please

    No each offspring will be sired by one male, now it can be a double sired clutch but I would not recommend pairing a recessive male and a co-dom male to a female (unless the female is clown as well in this case) as it will be impossible for you to determine which male is the sire.

    Let's say you pair both males

    Clown to Spider will yield Spider Het Clowns and Het Clowns,

    Fire to Spider you will yield Spiders, Fire Spiders, Fires and normals

    Now let's say you are out of luck and you do not produce any Fire Spider or any Fire this would not mean that the Clown is the Sire, the fire could still be the sire but you were just victim of bad luck.

    When pairing recessive try to pair similar recessive, for example Pastel Clown male and Enchi Clown male this way regardless of the sire you know that all offspring will be het clowns.

    Gotcha! So no single snake would carry both genes, but some snakes in the clutch could carry fire and others Clown?

    Yes double sired clutch is always a possibility.

    Thank you very much. I understand why it wouldn't be smart to use a recessive and a codom!
