We produced 4 different clutches of Pinstripes this year.....and they all had Spiders and Pins in each clutch.....we bred our Pin and Spider male to several girls.....and every single clutch contained both. Has anyone else experienced this multiple dad thing to this extreme??? Im going to shoot for 3 dads per clutch this year......LOL!!!

Thanks,

I've never experienced it in ball pythons, but my boa litter last year was fathered by 2 different males(Salmon and normal backup).. Out of 43 live babies, I had 10 hypos, I know that could just be bad odds but 20 or so of the normals displayed strong characteristics of the normal father, so I'm betting it was a split litter. Awesome odds you've got going on there Brian.. Hopefully I'll be able to purchase from you after this season, sorry I couldn't follow through with what I intended a few months ago.. Cya around
