I have a female that Is one of my favorites. She is 16 months and 60 grams. In May I noticed her ovulating so I put her in with a male and they bred, in fact I put her in 3 more times that week and every time was a successful breeding. After a few weeks I noticed no more egg developement so I placed her with the male again but at that time she refused, late June I placed her again with the male as it looked to be she was ovulating again but this time it wasn't as noticable as the first but she accepted him again for 3 consecutive times in a week, but still no egg developement at all. She is eating great, constant humid hide at 90 degrees, has anyone else had ovulation but then no eggs?

I did forget to mention that, the same male I put in with her went on to prove out two other females this year so I know he is not sterile, but yes I even tried her with another male this last time but she has gone back to refusing everyone right now.

We have one female who has re-absorbed every clutch that's started to form. She bred with a proven male that we've gotten lots of healthy babies from. It's enough to drive you crazy!
