Multiple Sires?

    When you pair your females with multiple dom/co-dom males, wouldn't that also increase your chances of hatching normals?

    No, each male still produces the same odds. 50/50 It is odds per egg, not per clutch. One eggs results has no effect on the chances of the others. Hope this helps.

    Nope because the odds are per egg, not per clutch. So it doesnt matter if you pair a spider, pastel and a pin to a female. No matter the male, each egg would have 50% chance of being a morph or 50% chance of being a normal.

    The only way you could increase your chance of normals is if you were pairing a female with a super male and a single gene male because the super would give all morphs and the single gene would only have a 50% chance of producing a morph.

    This season my mojave female is my hussy.

    She's locked with my vanilla, my pastel, my mojave and my woma. My thinking is, no matter if I get vanilla mojaves, pastaves, bel's, mojave womas or just plain mojave's, I'll be happy. And if I hit one of each combo, I'll be playing the lottery!

    Oh oops, that's what I was thinking of. I knew it was chance per egg, not per clutch.

    It simply stacks the odds.

    I had a Normal lay 9 eggs today that was bred with just about every non recessive gene carrying male I have...Can't wait to see what she produces!

Also like the other person said when the eggs hatch it will be like christmas, you could get some surprises.

    You can tell with recessives if you use visuals...

    Ex...
    Albino male, Pied male x Albino female...You could get all Albinos, all Normals or a split clutch...Any Normals produced would be 100% DH Albino Pied.

    There wouldn't be any way to guarantee that the Pied sperm "did the deed" though, so you wouldn't really be able to sell them as 100% het. Pied.

    They would be 100% het. Albino, or POSSIBLY 100% het. Albino Pied.

    Or is my brain malfunctioning again? It's been a seriously long day.

    Yes your brain malfunctioning...LOL

    Albino x Albino would produce all Albinos...So if you through a Pied in the mix and get any Normals they would have come from the Pied making them 100% DH Albino Pied...
