Breeding "males to female"?

stevebp Apr 16, 2012 11:42 PM

I'm breeding my pinstripe, pastel and mojave males to my spider female, my question is how likely is it to hit a multiple morph clutch and how many people has it happened too?
Thanks,
Steve

It happened to me last year for first time..I had an albino female with 4 males..I saw locks with albino,mojave, and spider male. I threw in a pin but never saw lock. 5 egg clutch and I got the following:

1 spider het albino male
1 albino male
1.1 mojabe het albino
1 het albino male..

I also had my first set of twins in another clutch...good luck

If Mojabe is supposed to be a Mojave/Bee, I don't think that's possible! I don't think muliple males can fertilize one egg!

I imagine that is simply a typo. B and V are right next to one another on the keyboard.

That is NOT correct. If you read through past posts on here and other forums you will see people getting results from multiple males all the time...........

folks are reading this question in two different ways. to clarify the issue,

1. multiple males cannot father the same single offspring - one sire, one dam.

2. multiple males can be present in one clutch - you can have ten eggs where each of those ten offspring was sired by a different male you put with that same female.

It was pretty common for me to back up my co-dom and got a lot of mixed daddy clutches - the sperm all stores in the same place.

1 clutch 3 daddys and twins
