And, remember, the smaller and younger she is the smaller the clutch will be. I mean like, forever. If she is a small girl with a little clutch, next year she may be bigger, but you could still keep getting that small clutch.

Keep in mind, it needs to be a healthy 1200 g's. Not a fat lardy. :)

Yes 1200 grams is the minimun for safe breeding, I would prefer mine to be larger but I think 1200 g is safe. I have also heard of 1200 gram females having 5 egg clutches. Yes smaller females will most likely have smaller clutches but the statement that they will always have them is very debatable.
