Its hard to know the reproductive capabilities of a individual
eastern.At least for me it is. Of three females one has given
me viable clutches three years in a row at 4,5 and 6 years old.
One was the biggest at six feet and became eggbound,first egg
at the vent,her first time breeding.She was 5 years years old.
I overfeed her In the belief that size and wieght transfered
into clutch size.The last female at 4 years and a little over
5 feet gave me 14 eggs with a 100percent hatch rate.
