There are so many other variables in there that need to be considered as well. Age, virginity, male used, temps, habitat, etc. With my set up using a virgin female I will typically get 6-10 eggs per female...this is with her being bred after the 3rd clutch. If I were not to breed her again I feel I may still get the full egg count but it all depends on how much semen was deposited and how much was used for each fertilization. Once again so many variables. If she were proven I would be willing to bet they would all be fertile...as apposed to a virgin I think I would get a infertile clutch or two in the mix as well (or even half fertile/infertile clutches too).

That being said I have had virgins that have laid 16+ eggs with one breeding and all being fertile. Have had proven breeders who if not bred after ever clutch will throw nothing but infertile eggs. This is why good record keeping and knowledge of your individual animals is important.

I plan on breeding sometime next year
I think I can learn what need to know by next summer
so far I learned to not mix 2 different kinds of albino its frowned on
no mix enigma to enigma (I don't have any anyway)
some say enigma to other morph is fine
& some say don't breed enigma at all
