little confusion on mating practices

[aalomon]

I bred a pastel to a pewter male and a spotnose male, that year the pewter male sired the clutch (the spotnose male was also sold, so I know there werent any other locks I forgot to write down). The next year the female laid again but it wasnt until the third year that I had a spotnose pop up in one of her clutches. These girls really can surprise you!
