2013 ODD Clutch ---Split Gene
Multiple males can sire a clutch.. What can NOT happen is getting a baby with the genes of two males.. For instance, you could never have gotten a lesser bee (lesser spider) because the males genes will not combine.. You CAN have an 8 egg clutch with 3 sires and get morphs from each sire tho.. It happened to me one year..
I bred a pinstripe, a woma, a blue eyed leucistic (which was a combo of lesser and Russo) to a normal.. Thats 4 different genes from the males. I ended up getting 1 lesser, 1 Russo, 2 womas, 3 pinstripes, and 1 normal..
The snake has multiple follicles inside her. Multiple eggs. You can have 8 eggs and 8 different males. If one sperm from each of those males makes it into just 1 egg before any of the others, then you could have 8 different fathers. The males genes will never combine though. The closest you could ever get to that would be twins inside one egg, but one is a spider, and the other is a lesser. 2 sperm from 2 different males can fertilize 1 egg and you would have fraternal twins.
