Breeding Question

[Slicer]

My sunglow female (merida) just laid her first eggs today. I wanted to know when is it ok to re-introduce her to a male for copulating, days, weeks, months...

Thanks

Most say every three clutches

So does that mean the next 3 clutches will be fertile from the one copulation?

I usually reintroduce the male a couple days after the first clutch with my first time breeders. Sometimes the female is willing, sometimes not. If not I usually wait to see if she starts making new eggs, if she does I leave her alone if not I reintroduce the male about 3-5 days later. Many times they lay several clutches from one copulation but some don't.
