What happens when you breed two males to

nipro_style May 05, 2014 07:23 AM

one female?
I breed my Pastel female to a Spider and a Pinstripe male...
She just laid her 9 beautifull eggs ! All lookin good with viens...
I wonder what male "won" or will I get a mix of spider and pinstripe or even 3 gens?
Do they save sperm from last year?
Thanks...

The clutch could have been fathered by either or both. No way to know until they hatch. A 3 gene animal is not possible in this scenario. You can only have genes from one male in any one egg.

Thanks! And about the sperm, can female save sperm from last season(meaning last year)?

I am not sure about this in BPs. It may be possible but it is more likely that this years breedings would be what fertilized her. As with any clutch, you will find out when they hatch. May the odds gods be with you.
