I keep pretty detailed records of our snakes, especially during breeding. I also tend to run more than one co-dom male through a female during breeding. Last year 17% of our clutches had more than 1 co-dom represetned in the hatchlings. In addition, 54% of the clutches were not fertilized by the first male that locked with the female . . . in many cases it was the last male that locked before ovulation.

I'll be keeping the same info for this season to determine if last year's data was a fluke or what.

Good luck to everyone during this season!
