My 17" sulcata female laid her first nest ever of 20eggs on Feb9th, and then again a nest of 18eggs on March 8th. I've read that if the weather stays stable they can potentially lay eggs every 30 days so I've been watching her closely for a 3rd clutch.
It's been roughly 46 days since her last clutch and she isn't showing any signs of laying except that her appetite isn't where it usually is. The weather has been practically the same as it was in Feb and March, night time around 50's and days between 70-80.

Does anyone have any experience they could share on the frequency of their sulcatas nesting?

Thanks everyone.

I'm sure someone will be along to answer you soon.

Until then, I just wanted to say "whoa momma". No wonder we see so many sulcata babies for sale. That's a lot of eggs so far!
