Prity much sumed up in the title lol, can you put 1 male to multiple females?

As ive convinced father that i need to invest in 2 more snakes to get my "breeding programm" off too a good start hehe, so the plan is to get a female Pinstripe and a male bumblebee

So my plan would be:
~Bumblebee to Pinstripe
~Bumblebee to Spider

(Plan is for the next couple of years ofc )

Thanks, Matt.

Ya males can be used with more than one female, personally id do 1 male to 2 females but I'm sure I've read about putting males with alot more than that it is down to personal preference, but you will have to keep an eye on the male as you want to keep him healthy

Hi Jebus as Danno says it can be done just keep an eye on the male and try giving him a feed in between pairings, also I'm not sure pairing a bumble bee with a spider would be the best idea since the bumble bee already has the spider gene in it, it might prove fatal as I'm sure I've read somewhere spider to spider is a bad combo.

The spider x spider 'lethal' combo debate has been around for some time. NERD have done extensive tests to determine whether it is fatal or not, but haven't been able to prove it as all the hatchlings have survived. Two conclusions can be made from this: 1.if there is a super form they do not hatch, or 2.it's not lethal
The choice is yours which you follow.

There are fatal mixes such as sable x spider and woma x woma (aka Pearl: but lesser pearls seem to do fine)

Apparently incubator temps can reduce the wobble if kept around 87-88 Fahrenheit (30.5/31 Celsius)


Back to the original question, yes he can mate with more than one female (in fact planning to do this myself when my lot get to breeding weight), just keep a good eye on him and feed him.
