Thank you for your input. I'm really happy to have so many people giving their thoughts on this. As a new breeder to hoggies, I don't really know that much (most of my knowledge is on the hoggies themselves, not breeding/egg-laying specifics) and I relish this chance to learn at least a little from people who have been doing this for a while.

And egg-binding is a subject I'm only familiar with with birds (cockatiels specifically).

I did have another question. I've noticed some snakes will lay duds without being with another snake. Is there something that causes that, or is it just random? (e.g. does not breeding during breeding season cause them to produce unfertilized eggs, or do they develop for other reasons?).
