Okay so my Female Panther Cham is about to turn 1 year old and she has yet to be gravid / lay eggs. I honestly don't want her to because I have no plans on breeding her, but I was just curious if anyone has heard of Females who never lay? I have been weighing her religiously for the past 2 months and she has not been gaining nor losing weight. She actually lost 2 grams last week. She is the pinnacle of health and seems to have no signs of being preggers. It seems weird. Whats the oldest anyone has ever heard of a Cham having her first egg lay?

Hmmm, okay. LOL I have to confess I fed her a LOT ( everything she could eat) a few months ago and her temps have always been, and still are, in the upper 80's. My igorance of this makes me surprised she has not laid.
Her eating tapered off about 2 months ago. I recently started feeding her every other day which has greatly improved her appetite. She went from eating about 1 cricket per day to about 5 every other day. What do you think good temps would be for her to stave off laying? Mid 80's lower 80's?

I have had two females never lay before they were bred, but had no problem reproducing when the time came. I feed every other day and my temps are high 70's with a basking spot of 87-92.
