In addition to the already mentioned reason of increasing your odds of good eggs (assuming any single male might have fertility issues) I've done it in the hopes of getting a split clutch with different combos that would otherwise take two years. I want to see what the mojave chocolate cinnamon looks like and also what the mojave super chocolate looks like so I put both a chocolate male and a cinnamon male with my chocolate mojave girl. Unfortunately my female is small and I'll be lucky to get any eggs much less the perfect split clutch hitting the odds with each of two fathers. But that brings up another possible reason, might a borderline female be more likely to produce after more breeding?
