Retained Sperm

I just had my female Applegate Albino drop a clutch of eggs for the second time this year. I didn't reintroduce my patternless male after the first clutch... An unexpected, but welcome turn of events... She has laid 5 eggs so far with -2 on the way. Only one appears to be good though.

After getting the eggs in an incubator, I examined my second Applegate female and felt lumps in her as well! I'm going to have a LOT of babies this year!!!

John,
I had a applegate lay 12 and then turn around and lay 11 slugs cause I never placed the male back in with her either. I guess I should have thought I didn't even want to double clutch her.

Exactly... If I knew she would double clutch, I would have put the male back in with her. In the end, she laid 5 slugs and one good egg...
