Hello Amanda , I use this method with my girls . Our sweet phoeb’s has never laid . She see’s vet once a year for health check up no signs .she will be 2 in dec . Clelia her sister has laid one clutch with in weeks of me getting her , our Frances laid 2 small clutch in just shy of four years . We cut back at one year of age to 3 days a week about 5 feeders , dusted with rapashy low , we bask at 82 degrees . After laying we feed for 24 hours what ever the girls want what ever amount they want . When I knew my girl Frances was going to lay I would cut back to 2 days 5 feeders . Clelia was a surprise I was not her original keeper . She laid end of April .I want to say I've had this discussion before, and reached the conclusion that fasting can be beneficial for their metabolism - particularly in females. However, I don't have any scientific basis... @kinyonga @Kristen Wilkins, your thoughts? And I believe it was @JacksJill who feeds in smaller amounts daily - correct me if I'm wrong! I have a hard time keeping things straight in my head haha!

I like that! I live by the you poop you eat for my girls after a clutch.I just have weekend warriors any they just a get a few snacks during the week. For the bigger ones, "if you poop, you eat" so once the journey is complete, you start the journey again.
Sounds like we do about the same for our girls . For my girls it works . We live in mass cape cod , We have crazy weather . I have pretty established Colonies . Really the only thing I order is horns . Their diet is varied but 5 feeders unless it’s horns work . I’ll add pics when I have a sec . I think they are pretty good weight . Phoeb’s is a peanut she’s only 69g her heaviest has only been 70g .I go 2-3 days between feedings. Mona weighs a bit but does not appear overweight. She has laid one small clutch with me in January of 2019. Got her March 2018.
