If a first-year female is about a year old, over 50 grams, and healthy... there is no reason why she shouldn't be able to produce 5-6 clutches. Some of my second-year girls produce 10+ clutches per year.

Okay when they lay new eggs do you set up a whole new deli cup or just add them in with the others if there is room?

I put each clutch in their own deli cup and label the cup with the date the eggs were laid and who the parents are (that is, if you have multiple breedings going on).

It definitely varies from female to female, but I have had some second and third year breeders do 10 clutches a year and some others only lay only 6 clutches despite appearing heavier at the beginning of breeding season. I rarely get more than 3 or 4 clutches out of first time breeders unless they are well over a year old (almost 2) and didn't breed their first year.
