she will retain the sperm and continue to lay eggs through out the rest of the season. Some breeders will rebreed them after 3 clutches or so. So it's not nessasary to rebreed them, but you can. Just keep in mind that means more babies and mouths to feed.

She can produce eggs all season from one session, but fertility rates are generally higher if the male is reintroduced several times during the season.
