Yeah, shannon, both your posts here make sense--an early copulation can certainly fertilize eggs that come along a few weeks later...and you're right tdhat if you do switch males for a second clutch, it's gotta either be a) a male of exactly the same genotype or b) one that will produce entirely different phenotypes, so you can tell from looking at the babies which male is the father.
