swiching males on one feamale

[gecko breeder]

if i were to breed one male with my female and she laid a clutch and i wonted to change to another male will the second males sperm be the one fertilizing the eggs or will it still be the first males

 

[acpart]

I think it's likely but not guaranteed that the new male's sperm will fertilize the eggs. It would be best in that case if you used a male where the hatchling's morph would tell you for sure which male fathered it, (or where it doesn't make a difference, like using 2 Tremper albino males) so you can be clear on the genetics.

ok thanks im going to try it

anyone els have any suggestions

It could be either, if you insist on switching male I suggest using one with completely different genetics so the you will know which offspring come from which sire. For example, if you bred tremper x tremper first, use a second sire that is neither tremper nor het tremper.

I wouldn't say its the most ideal situation.

I would chose two male that will have distinctly different offspring to be able to tell the the gene difference.
