They could become receptive in a year or based on how much they weigh. It is ideal to get a digital scale to monitor their weight. Also, watch for the pinkish colors. If they are a year old and going pink, introduce the male to the females enclosure and see what happens. The male may just mount and do his thing. But if she gappes and gets pissy remove them and try again. I hope this helps you. Good luck and ask some of the seniors here or moderators they will guide you in the right direction as well.

She's not even eating or regaining her strength from this clutch. She needs extra calcium after laying eggs. I use lots of extra calcium dust on the feeders the first few days after laying or give liquid calcium. This girl needs to rest for awhile before you even think of breeding her unless you want her to live a very short life.

What is the big rush to mate her? Did she not just lay eggs about one week ago?!?!?!? I'm sure you've read enough on this forum to understand, at least to some degree the toll that egglaying takes on a female. I guess I am just baffled that you are so eager and willing to put her through that again so soon. If I were her I would gape and turn dark too

If she continues to lay infertile clutches, there is nothing really you can do. When she becomes receptive again in a few months, evaluate her, make sure she is healthy, have good weight, etc.
If she is still stuggling to bounce back from the laying of infertile clutches, do not breed her when she becomes recptive. You need to wait until she is nice and healthy

Its good to feed her well for a couple of days, but if you continue to do so she will likely produce a big clutch. You don't want to starve her...just don't overdo it.
As far as mating, it usually takes a while after they have laid a clutch (infertile or not) to become receptive again. Her behavior (dark, gaping) to the male is saying she's not receptive.
