Eggs and fertilization

xelda Dec 09, 2003 08:30 PM

I know females can store sperm after breeding for up to a year, but here's what I was curious about... Can they lay fertile eggs off and on again during that period, or do they no longer carry the sperm once they've stopped laying eggs?

Hey

From what I understand when they lay the last of the eggs as in the last visable clutch thats it till next year however I think Ive heard of a female breeding laying eight eggs over 2 months being seperated from male a year went by had eggs again and they were fertile even though a male had not been present in a year.

Hope that helps
