Fertile ?

[vydalbabi]

My female ambilobe mated with my male on September 17th and she laid 36 eggs from September 30th to October 1st. That's only 13 days since she mated so I'm wondering if anyone thinks these eggs could be fertile because I thought it usually took a lot longer to lay after mating. Also is it true that a females first clutch is less likely to be fertile? My female is about a year and 8 months and this is the first clutch she has ever laid. I was actually surprised she laid 36 because we feed her less and keep her at a lower temp than our male to avoid large clutches

Also have some double eggs

She dropped 3 sets of double eggs. Also don't know if this matters but she dropped the first 24 eggs in 3 batches and the last 12 she laid in her bin

Any thoughts?

Photos aren't clear enough for me to be sure.

The double eggs usually end up bad. Why are they so scattered?

The orientation of eggs in the first few weeks doesn't matter... So when you remove them and place them into your incubation media you can line them up without worries.


The best way to know fertility is wait 2 to 3 weeks, they will start to mold over.
