Bearded dragon Female retaining sperm?

[agrrr1]

I have been having a discussion about whether females retain sperm from 1 mating to another.For instance if she has 1 clutch with 1 male can she have a clutch with another male next time that are the second males genetics or are they mixed or what ??

Yes It has been confirmed that beardies in particular but some other species as well can retain sperm and produce healthy progeny at least 1 year or possibly longer after mating. I paired a male LB pygmy beardy with a normal but nothing seemed to happen so I put her in with another normal who she mated with. I ended up with a mixed clutch
