In 2004 I caught a light phase blairs (flawless)At 1:00AM about 2 miles past seminole caynon st park.crossing the road. She was gravid, laid 9 eggs and all hatched, but she has not produced eggs since! What do you think? I am having some kind of problem, my male is bad or I am introducing them at the wrong time or something. I know she is capable!

It may take a little while for her to fully acclimate to captivity. All you can do is try each year until she is ready to reproduce. It is not unheard of for this to take a couple of years.

Yeah,

I collected a female in 1997, sub adult but she did not produce untill 2002 and 2005, I think it takes a while for them to become stress free. also found a female 277 in 2003, she produced 3 eggs the first year but they were no good, and she refuses to breed. she is a little heavier now, and not quite as skittish so I think she will breed this year or maybe next.

just be patient
