    Small Clutch
    Hello, a friend of mine has 1800g female that laid only two eggs. I was wondering if this is something that will always happen? Has anyone ever experienced a small clutch in one season then a bigger clutch the next?

    I havent personally seen less than 6 eggs from a female but I know it does happen. My females tend to lay the same or more the next year, but most it ever went up from one year to the next was a 6 egg clutch to a 9 egg clutch.

    Maybe she absorbed some that werent fertilized before OVY?

    How sure are they that she laid them all?

    The clutch of two eggs was laid about 50 days ago. I don't think there are any more eggs. :) I'm just a little surprised because she weighed 1800g when she was bred. I would expect at least 4 eggs?
