Has anyone purchased a normal female that was said to have been witnessed locking with a male and got eggs?....didn't get eggs? I have never purchased a normal female that has been "seen" locking with a male. It is a reputable breeder, but my question is basically....have YOU ever purchased a normal female that was said to have locked, and did or did not get eggs? Is the gamble worth it? I mean, it is a little late in the season to think that she would lay any eggs right?

we have 3 months yet...actually all year and then some...it never ends...you could or you could not get eggs...half of my females have not laid yet.....over half of that half show no signs or are still eating....and I am not worried....some will drop.....

but you want odds?....no way anyone can tell you odds...it' all up to the female you happen to buy...

if it's the ad I saw...it's cheap...go for it...

She was sold to someone else out from under me....

I got a story for you…

I bought two animals from well known breeders (one in the usa and the other from germany)

At the time the fire was bought was a female and the African import was bought as a male…..

Almost 3 years later down the road I pair them up hoping the fire will lay some eggs and prove out the import.

When the time comes….the African import (what was supposed to be male) laid eggs. When I saw that I popped and probed the fire….sure nuff the fire was a male (what was supposed to be female)

I kept the only fire that came from the clutch….which I do believe the import had some play with it. plan to breed him back to mom…when she feels to gain some weight again.

…..so long story short…..anything is possible.

I wouldn't call this late in the season at all - ovulations into August are pretty normal around here.
