As someone from the medical field: I do my best to defy Nature.
While I could stop breeding this female: Her mother just recently produced a solid clutch of 6 healthy eggs-which would suggest that past performance is not indicative of future results.
In addition: The clutch from this female has a 1 in 8 'egg chance' of meeting one of my final project goals (my first focused breeding goal-which I started 15 years ago).
Just in case: I have two females next year that will be reaching maturity from a separate breeding line, they will have a 1/16 chance of meeting the same goal...however I would prefer not to produce copious amounts of Hets if I did not have to...
I figured you'd have a bunch of reasons to keep trying- And yeah, I take your point. Better luck next time then.
