So I've seen a lot of clutched with 2 fathers...has anyone tried 3 or more?
I ask because I was thinking of cycling my cinny, spider and pastel males through one female...and was wondering if anyone has had 3 father clutches.

I think it'd be sick to hatch super pastels, pewters and bees from the same female using single morph fathers and the pastel female.

I hatched out a clutch this year sired by 3 different males. I bred a pastel lesser, a pewter, and a bumblebee to a normal female and produced 1 pastel lesser, 2 bumblebees, 1 spider, and 2 cinnamons out of the clutch.

Here is a picture, it is missing one of the bees though.

I just had it....

Axanthic Bumble Bee, Lesser Super Pastel Yellow Belly and Bumble Bee Pin Enchi...as dad's....

Child Support is gonna be a [bleep]!

Value wise....I think those "children" will be able to sufficiently pay for their own care.
lol.

Entirely plausible....have had a few....
This is my favorite double daddy clutch so far though (last season)...

I believe I read a post last year from Terry H (Dixie Reptile Show) He had successfully hatched a clutch that came from 3 different fathers. However, I highly doubt you will hit on making (3) different double co-doms from a single female. your chances would be like 1 in 12 assuming she retains sperm from all three males. My bet is that you will produce several different single mutations and maybe a double or two if your lucky.

Each baby will have one father. You can't get genes from multiple fathers in one baby. For example, if a normal female breeds a spider male and a pastel male, you can get pastels and spiders in the same clutch, but you won't get bumblebees in that clutch.

I know. The female is a pastel...so I could get pewters, bumblebees and super pastels if I breed my cinny, spider and pastel male to her.

And it looks like that is what I will be doing. Poor girl will need to be on Maury when next season is over.
