Hey all! Any wisdom would be much appreciated. I opened up the tub of a girl who had slugged out last season, and she was pink bellied and belly up. I have never seen her fully inverted before, even last season when she was building. She also looked rather "lumpy."

My question is basically if any of you have had experience with a girl taking the season after a slug-out, or any kind of clutch for that matter. I'm not certain that this wasn't just a false-alarm, but it's always better to be prepared for the unexpected. She has been a very picky and fickle eater since she laid last fall, and it would be shocking to me if she had it in her to produce a clutch (especially considering she didn't seem to have it in her last season). I know sperm retention can happen when females don't take one season, but can it also happen when they do take, and allow a female to lay a clutch two seasons in a row without breeding the second season? Like I said before, any wisdom and experience in these regards would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
