just was curious,
I have never attempted it, but I was wondering if this was possible.
I know geckos retain sperm, but I dont know what happens when you introduce another male to an already gravid female.

Hey there, I tried with a couple of my females, and just one seemed to have effect on. I basically bred her (she is a tangerine) to a tangerine male and then to a carrot tail male. I bred her first to the tangerine and like a month after to the CT. The first 6 babies came to be pretty decent tangerines and the last 2 where stunnin super hypos cts. I concluded because of the radical change on the look of the babies that i might have been a result of the CT father. Still, that not always is true since as you said they do retain sperm, and although you mate her twice or even more times to different males, all the babies can still be from the first Leo. Thanks.

I don't really think that it is possible. Actually I don't think that leos retain sperm. They have the eggs up inside them in a cluster kinda like grapes. They are very small when the male fertilizes the female it gets all the little eggs. When she is ready to lay 2 drop down and form the egg and shell. This is why that sometimes a female will lay the first clutch infertile because they have dropped already when she actually becomes ready to breed and there fore miss the fertilization process.
