Ok on March 18th, she laid a slug. On March 23rd she went into shed and laid another. On March 28th, she shed and laid another slug. Now it's March 30th and when I checked her this morning, I found 4 more infertiles. She laid 3 of them outside of the lay box and one inside. That's six infertiles so far. I'm glad to see she doesn't seem to be egg bound but WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?!?!? Any ideas??? I hope to get at least some fertiles, but what do you think???

Bigbearhook, its a possibility the male dudded out. If this is her first clutch ever, then it seems likely she would have had a small clutch IMO. Heres a trick. Hold her gently and let her belly slide over your curled fingers. Sometimes you can actually feel the eggs inside. I have done this on a couple of gravid corns successfully, and even got an accurate egg count on one female this way. Otherwise, just be patient and see what she does. Definitely check to see if she is egg bound in another week or so.
