I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Egg binding is always a possibility for any egg laying creature and it can be caused by many things. Your female was not egg bound if she successfully laid her clutch. You will get to know your female's egg production cycle, so when she looks gravid (she'll develop eggs whether she's bred or not) get the same laying bin ready for her to use each time. The good thing is once she's done it successfully in the bin you offered her she's more likely to accept it again.
