Can you mate a female snake with more then one male to get a bigger verity in the clutch?

It has happened, wouldn't count on it always happening but it is technically possible. Also if both males could possibly "create" the same morph.. You won't know who sired it.

You may get more fertile eggs or live babies with multiple males, but you won't know which male sired which offspring.

As I understand it duel sired clutches are not that uncommon in ball pythons. Also as long as you stick with incomplete dominant genes telling the father of most of the offspring should be easy to figure who the sperm donor was.

Pretty common in morphs as already stated. A lot of other species can do it too I imagine. I don't think boas would be one of them though.
