Leopard gecko breeding FAILURE?

[BellaTheBellAlbino]

Here is my story, I breed my female to my male like 2 months ago and infertile eggs hatched lets say 2 weeks ago . And they where dry and flat so im sure they were infertile. BTW my lay box is a cookie container with moss. Before I breed the female she was a hefty 80g fat tail healthy body and yes she was over 1 year old and so is the male. So I breed her to my male and he was like 50-60g so he was ready and healthy. Well the female is much skinner now from the egg hatching she , her tail got a bit smaller but I cant really notice. So she is still healthy and fine with weight. So my question is when will she be able to breed again , should i give her more calcium , and how many time should i breed the female for the eggs to be fertile, and how do I know she has eggs ready to be fertilized , and if you have a picture of a female with eggs and ready to breed , please help . I really want these eggs to hatch without hurting my geckos health in any way. THANK YOU VERY MUCH I KNOW IM ASKING TO MUCH QUESTIONS I JUST DONT WANT TO FAIL AGAIN IT HURTS SEEING DEAD EGGS AFTER MONTHS OF WORK.:main_yes: my first time breeding well not first but you know what i mean lol

It is not uncommon for first time breeders to lay infertile eggs, there is nothing you can do about that.

Most of the time leopard geckos, even if they breed only once, will lay multiple clutches of eggs and, as Tony said, the first few clutches may be infertile. It sounds as if your female laid only 1 clutch, is that right? She may not be ovulating anymore by now since it's the end of the breeding season (unless you live in the southern hemisphere, in which case it may be the beginning of the season), but you can always try again next year.

I agree with the previous posts that the first clutch(es) may come out infertile. Once your lady has laid her eggs, she will need to get back her calcium and nutrients. I feed my girls pinky mice (about one or two) ONLY after they've laid eggs. The mice provide excellent calcium and protein, which was lost during the egg laying process.
You can try to breed her again if she doesn't seem stressed and has still maintained a good weight. She may be done ovulating, but if she isn't, you can give it a shot. I'm in So Cal and my girls will produce a little more.
