Multiple Sires per clutch?

[Gomojoe]

Is it possible to have multiple fathers in a single clutch? I know many people breed their females with a bunch of males, and I also know females can supposedly store sperm but I haven't heard anyone say they had multiple fathers in a single clutch. Has anyone seen this?

Yes, that's why people do it...

Yea there was a pretty recent thread about it. Someone got pastels and spiders from a multi sired clutch.

Yes, a few years ago I hatched this clutch which has at least three fathers. I bred a female pied to four males, a pewter, bumble bee, lesser and pied.

Yup. Very possible for a multi-sired clutch

Wow that's cool, from what i read a while back on these forums it was to arouse the female or males or something..

Pythons interest more and more everyday. cant wait untill min get up to breeding size!

So do you put multiply males in at the same time? or one after the other?.. And is this a rare occurence or quite common, where youll get results like above?

I definitely have! I had a clutch of 5 eggs with 3 butters and 2 pastels from a normal female... she was introduced to a butter male and bumblebee male

Definitely can vouch for the multiple sires thing

Also, you wouldn't put them in at the same time. You would simply put in one male, let him do his thing, and then when it's time for her to have another male, you put in the other (whatever your rotation is)
