Female veiled laying timetable

[camimom]

So, just wondering for those of you who have had females for a while...

My Lily laid a fertile clutch on April 1st.
then laid a second clutch (all infertile) In july.

SHe is now laying a 3rd clutch as I type..

Is this about normal?

And yes i reduce her feeders and her basking temp stays no more than 83.

Its funny my female laid in March, again in June, and again this month. I reduced her feedings aswell last year. she only eats 3-4 feeders every other day. and she is laying 56-66 egg everytime. her last clutch was laid december 1st and all are still looking really good, and are the largest eggs she laid this year in size. her temos are even on the cooler side hoping to slow down her egg producation but I guess she is just a hardy egg layer. keep us posted when she lays. Good Luck

jeebus.

LIly laid 38 her first, 30 her second, and i dunno abot this third one, cuz shes still digging away.

i feed Lily 5-6 bugs every 2 days, as she wont eat every other, (she has a tude problem lol)

My Isis laid her first clutch on August 26th and tried to lay again yesterday but I pulled her out as her tunnel collapsed and she was completely buried. I am hoping she will go back in and continue...but I may have screwed up and have to take her to the vet if she's too scared to lay now. *sigh* Her first lay was 41 eggs, we'll see how many come out this time.

she may continue on her own.
I had to re wet the dirt in Lilys bucket, so i had to pull her out (she hadnt started a real hole, but was digging a bit)
i put more water in.. put her back inl.. and she slept in her hole and was diggin this morning when i left for work.

Sorry to go off tangent on your thread - I hope Lily is successful with her lay today. I'll keep an eye on Isis and hope for the best. She's 5g's lighter so I'm worried I dug her out mid-lay. Grrrr!

just relax, and let her do her thing... she may have gotten annoyed, but she may go back to her digging.

Wow that's a lot of eggs! My girl is about a year old and has just laid on Thursday (infertile) I hope she doesn't lay again so soon! She laid 44 eggs but her temps are constant 80 and she only gets 2 bugs a day! ill be cutting that to 1 a day now though once shes recovered. I've had her for 8 months and she got sexually mature about 5-6 months ago.

this female was a take in from another member.
i estimate her age to be somewhere around 1.5 years old, maybe a bit less.

I know some females just lay no matter what.. so all i can do is give her what she needs.
at least i can try to keep her batches small, and these infertile eggs wont take as big a toll on her as the fertiles do.
