>>No they did not hatch, i was saying that there is the possibility that a female could lay eggs in the absence of a male even after 17 years.

My point was that females can and sometimes do lay eggs without a male present at all. The longest record bouncing around nowdays is 5 years for fertile eggs being produced after being present with a male.
