I think the availability of food and the amount have a lot to do with clutch size.
A ninety degree basking spot is also an "ideal" situation for creating eggs.
If you are mating the animal you can bring her temps and food up to stimulate receptivity. After copulation you should keep food, calcium and temperature levels higher.
In this example you create a "breeding season"

The technique for keeping females in the Kitty blog essentially creates a situation where there is no "breeding season".
You can keep a female very healthy and happy this way and it is still possible to bring her into breeding if you wish.

It's interesting to me that Agnes is still showing receptive colors (one month now) this is a long time, but as Trace and I discussed last night ... it is possibly due to everything being "slowed down" under these conditions.

BocaJan will become famous soon enough
My air temp is about 75 and my basking temp is 85-90. Basking in the morning helps them warm/wake up and digest their food.

Brad, one of my females is showing receptive colors and it has been a month also. Could it be she still has sperm in her and is going to be working on another clutch? She doesn't look like she has eggs yet, but I am going to keep a laying container in her habitat just in case.
