I have experimented with this. I have found a little extra calcium helps a whole lot. The few years I did not use it I got lower numbers of eggs, lower quality, and a lower fertility rate. I do like to feed younger rodents during breeding season which may contribute to this. I have seen a number of snakes from one breeder double there out put in my hands doing this. I am a firm believr in a little extra supplement but just a little.
