Sometimes I've kinda wondered, if the time of pairing has an influence in what male wins out making babies. Say, if the earlier or later male has a better chance. I do suspect, too, that the female may have a degree of "choice" in selecting the material she deems superior. I think the term is "passive choice," and may have been recorded in garter snakes. (though I may be wrong)
But tryin' a "whose your daddy" clutch for the first time this year, with my big pied girl. I gave her a black pewter with a male pied as backup, so, if she goes . . . At least, it will be really easy to know who the dads are
