last year i bred my het pied male to my het pied female. 5 eggs. 1 male pied and 1.3 poss het pieds. this year i attempted to breed them again. they refused to breed. i tried at least 6 times with no copulation. in june the female laid 8 eggs. 5 were slugs. of the 3 remaining eggs 2 were infertile and one was fertile. i am 100% sure that no breeding took place this year. i assume that it was a case of sperm retention from last year. perhaps that was the reason she refused to breed this year. any thoughts on this?
oh, an a pic of the hatchling from the fertile egg. Rin
