thanks. for others following this thread, i've also had occasions where females laid good first clutches and then were not subsequently bred again--females i was content with getting a single clutch from--that then proceeded to lay again. I've gotten clutches of slugs, partials, and all good eggs in such clutches, so clearly sperm can sometimes be retained for a couple months or so to fertilize a 2nd clutch.

i look forwrd to other reports.

peace
terry
