Geeesssshhh!! All 26 eggs from my lav het hypo X hypo het lav are duds!! These are the same two that breed for me last year and I got a total 37 good eggs between 2 clutchs. The female has good weight and looks better now than my other females who laid as well. Guess it could be the male?

Thats a real bummer! My luck has been bad with slugs this year as well. It really sucks, though when you wait all that time and every last egg is a dud.
Try breeding the two snakes to different partners to see who the one is that is not fertile. Although, it have just been the timing and neither of the snakes. Better luck next year!

Man, I'm really sorry to see that.
It is odd that they did so well last year.
Anything different this year?
Shorter brumation?
Thought about trying her again?

Yeah, I'll try her again this year especially since her weight looks really good now. I guess she didn't use much as reserves in producing the slugs that she would in producing viable eggs. I'll breed her to my hypo stripe that is poss het lav. to try and prove if he is het or not.
