well, after you get your first clutch, you can expect another clutch in a month or so, but really nothing i can tell you is concrete. things will change from one person to another, even one gecko to another. last year i had a single female produce something like 6 /- clutches, a couple never hatched, and one hatchling died after a month. ive got a couple females ive had for about a year now that have consistently laid infertile eggs monthly, and ive tried manipulating things to get fertiles out of her, but no luck yet. so once your female lays her first clutch of fertile eggs, id say expect at least one more, but that cant be guaranteed. as far as tailless females go, i cant speak from experience on those yet. all my adult females are WC and have their tails intact. havent had an adult drop a tail yet, luckily. but i do have a cb female from last year that dropped her tail, at some point ill be able to answer about her breeding abilities vs. one with a full tail, but that likely wont happen for another year or two, AT LEAST.
