breeding female to 2 different males same season

[VampyreByte]

I have a Sunglow(Tremper) that has layed 3 clutches this year so far. She was breed with a Mack Snow Bold Stripe. I had them together for a while, just seperated them late last week. I was thinking of putting her with another male this breeding season, a hypo tangerine het tremper. I'm guessing that would maybe be a bad idea, because i wouldn't necesarily know what she was producing until the babies hatch, if even then.
Am I right or have others done that before with this much of a difference in males. I'm simply curious. Would I be muddying the waters doing this?

Thanks

I did this once when a female produced few and infertile eggs with a (proven) male breeder. Late in the season I put her with a different male and she produced 3 offspring. Can you tell if she's gravid from the first male? If she wasn't ovulating, I think there's a good chance that if you wait till she is ovulating and put her with the new male, the offspring will be his. Otherwise, it's best to keep her separate and let her lay at least 3 clutches before switching males. Of course the best bet would be for the new male to be different enough from the previous male that it will be obvious who fathered the babies. You're pretty close here. Obviously if you switch males and you produce a snow baby, it was the first male and if you produce a tremper baby it was the second male.

She just laid her 3rd clutch of eggs this season for me a few days ago. So I'll probably wait for a little while longer to see if she lays another clutch or two. I just put them together earlier today and she wasn't the nicest to the hypo tang male.
Thanks
