How often does a clutch hatch where more than one visiable morph male was placed with the same normal female and the clutch has hatchlings from both males? I'm not talking about males that carry multiple genes themselves, but single morph males.

For example, a breeder places both a mojave and a spider male in with one normal female at different times in the breeding cycle . . . how often do you get both spiders and mojaves in the one clutch? Does anyone do this intentionally? If so, what are the odds that both males' sperm fertilize the eggs?

Thanks
