this may not be the brightest question, but i'm gonna ask it anyways.:D ok, i've read that when you're breeding, it's smart to introduce the male to the female three times in three weeks to ensure fertilization. well, would it be ok, for example, to introduce an anery A male to a snow female one week and an amel male to the same snow female the next week? to maybe get a variety of babies? any thoughts would be appreciated.

So...uh...how would you know which male fathered which hatchlings? You can't always tell a genotype by a phenotype.

better chance of producing but you won't know what your getting.

From what I remember from reading....
what Serpwidgets side before, he said that there is going to be "sperm war" and that the two male's sperm are going to fight until the 'weaker sperm producer' dies.......and that the winner will fertilize the eggs.....but that will reduce the fertility rate....

just my 2 cents...

Good Luck and Happy Herping!

If you don't really mind which snake fathers which ones and the genotype doesn't really matter to you, knock yourself out. Mate her with however many males you would like.
Good luck with the breeding
