female only layed one clutch

[ecmartin]

my first time breeding female layed two infertile eggs and didnt lay any afterwards. She is healthy and doesnt seem to be egg bound has this ever happened to anyone else?

Yep. I had a first timer do that also.

I find that the key things with breeding are
1. To leave the male and female together for at least 3 weeks to a month
2. To provide the female with lots of calcium during her stages of being gravid
3. To understand that first time breeders don't always produce fertile eggs right away.

did your first timer lay again? how long did you wait to breed her again? I have had her in with the male ever since hoping she would lay more but no luck
