clutch of only one egg...

[Anakan2]

I am sorry to post again but didn't get a response. Can anyone tell me why i have 2 females that are only laying one egg at a time? They lay a second egg about 3 -4 weeks later. I don't understand because one of the 2 gals used to lay 2 eggs at a time. She has a new beau but that is the only difference. Should I be concerned. So far, the eggs appear to be fertile. I am having trouble with bottom denting but that is a question for another night.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I've had females with a run of single eggs. It happens sometimes, maybe they're not firing on both cylindars. I also have a female who seems to be out of phase with her eggs and lays 1 egg a week. None of her eggs have been fertile, though. She had been bred to a juvenile male before I got her. I finally got her to accept one of my males and I'm hopeful for the next clutch.
