mating a yemen

[ilovechams]

You need to mate them everytime you want fertile eggs. I have read that 30 days after laying a clutch a female can lay again with some fertile and some infertile eggs (retained sperm) but I haven't seen this in my females.

iv just read that they can retain sperm for 80-100 days after layin a fertile clutch does anybody know.
