There is still plenty of time to get some breeding from your stehlini pair. Hopefully the male will behave himself next time.
Good deal on the Timon's eggs! When I worked them more seriously my females would double and triple clutch and I ended up with close to 70 babies one year from my breeding trio. They can be so prolific if things are right.
Below is a picture of my young adult pair of stehlini. The male is a ltc which I'm guessing is close to 3 or 4 years and the female was cb here in '07. Moments after I took this shot they bred. Gestation in the stehlini is relatively short (often less than 4 weeks). This first clutch of 11 egg should hatch in about 6 weeks since they were laid two weeks ago.
The females bounce back really quick after deposition so I expect to see another breeding within two to three weeks. She's already nice and plump as if nothing ever happened lol.
