I was like "oh no broken eggs!"
How many eggs to they normally lay?
dmarcus said:
This is the first time she laid. I read in another website they will lay 1-5 rather large eggs. Typically lay 2-3 eggs.
That really sucks...

Yea man now I am thinking about it all day.
What a shame. Sorry 8-( Maybe she will lay again before too long.
Will she lay again? Or will she have to mate again with the male?

Females are able to retain sperm (or maintain fertilized follicles depending on who you ask). I've read that females can have up to four clutches in a season, mine have never had more than two. Some of the smaller females still only single clutch. There's a decent chance that she'll lay again. How deep is your substrate?

The substrate is about 8 inches deep. I did not think she was going to lay at all. I have read that the females can have up to four cluthes also. Is that with the male mating with her once?

Supposedly a female can mate one time and retain sperm for three to four years. The time span seems to be based on anecdotal evidence and not proven though. I would say that if she laid once, she'd be able to lay again this year without mating. But if the male is in there with her, you probably don't have to worry, he'll try to mate again anyway.

I read that in a book. And in the the book it also stated that you should still treat them as if they where fertile and still incubate them in case.
