so i've recently bred my female (normal) Blizzard to my Male (Blazing Blizzard)
and last season she's laid a clutch of infertile eggs for me, i was thinking since it was her first clutch prolly thats why they were infertile:(, and here's the problem again this season i bred her again and yet again, her eggs are infertile,
i dont see any genetics problems and both are fat and healthy and the male was a proven breeder before, so problem is, are there such females that are totally infertile for their livetime?:main_huh:

Could be many different reasons that are causing this issue/ I would re-attempting the introduction with poss a different male to see if there is a change.

have u been coating her prey with calcium.how often do u give her calcium?Did u see copulation occuring ? If u did,try leaving him in for 2- 3 days.If u didnt see copulation occuring i would leave her in for 5-7 days.I know u said her weights ok,what is her weight ?what month did u breed her last

its highly unlikely its the male thats the problem.I would say its the female who is the problem
