What's going on with this breeder?

[acpart]

First season ('06): 10 clutches, 20 eggs, 20 live hatches

Second season ('07): 11 clutches, 22 eggs, 12 live hatches

Third season ('08): 6 clutches, mostly laid outside the lay box, only 2 live hatches since most of the eggs shriveled up by the time I found them

Fourth season ('09): I'm watching her really carefully and keep putting her in the lay box as the eggs get bigger inside her. Last Friday I came home and found 1 egg on the floor of the heated upstairs level, already starting to dent. I put her in the lay box again. An hour later, I found the second egg exactly where the first had been. This time I got to it in time and I think it's going to be OK.

Why is she doing this? (She has been seen in the lay box at other times)

What's her age? Is she a 4th season breeder, or was she bred by someone else prior to you aquiring her?

I got her as an older juvie, born in '05. She was just about a year old and over 50 grams the first season, and is now 4 years old. This will probably be her last season. She has been bred only by me. She was bred to one of my males in '06, to a different male for 2 consecutive years ('07, '08) and is with my third male this year. She eats well and seems "content" with everything else.

I suggest confining her in her lay box when she's close to laying.

wont that stress her out??? and when she lays the eggs she might smash them if shes confined in there

Better than them denting I suppose.
