Multiple Baby Daddy's.....

I have a question about breeding a female to multiple males. I bred my female lesser to my male lesser and to my male spider het Carmel albino. My question is could I possibly get both a lesser bee and a BEL out of one clutch? I candled the eggs at day 40 and can see a pattern that looks like a lesser bee, and one that looks really pink. So is this possible? If so how great are the chances she would have both?

Multi sired clutches happen with some frequency.

From a statistical standpoint, I don't think it changes your odds of the predicted genetic out come. Some clutches hit better odds than others regardless of how many Baby Daddies are involved.

Possible? Yes.
Het Carmel Albino, I wouldn't count on any possible hets in that clutch unless it is a Spider

Im not counting on any hets. Just hoping for a lesser bee and a bel

Yes it's possible, sperm can stay viable for a long period of time and breeding multiple males to a female means that there is a mixture of available sperm to fertilize the eggs when she ovulates, However, in over 10 years of breeding ball pythons it's never happened for me that I know of.

It has happen to me once over the last ten years.

Last year, I couldn't decide what pairing I wanted more. To get a firefly or a black eyed Lucy. So I did a different male for both. Got both. :D
