Leopard Gecko Ovulation time chart

[Alex Hernandez]

I'm new to breeding and have a quick question. If my female leopard is 65grams, but not ovulating yet. It is her first year breeding. How long it will take her to

1.ovulate?
2 lay eggs after mating has occurred.
3. How many clutches do females generally lay in their first year "i have read many different results in books and online ranging from 6-16 clutches just want to see what you guys get"

Thanks,

#1 - It is hard to say when she will ovulate. I have some females that started in December and a few others that start in April or May.
#2 - In most cases 2 - 3 weeks after breeding takes place the first clutch will come.
#3 - From my experience my first year females lay between 4 - 6 clutches. (most of the time)
2 & 3 are also based on geckos that are healthy and supplemented properly. One example would be if a gecko is lacking calcium, it may take longer for her body to shell the eggs.
