Our 2nd clutch was from a female who shed twice after ovy before she laid. The second shed sure threw me for a loop. I questioned (because I'm a newbie, and it was only our 2nd clutch ever...) whether I had been right about her even being gravid. However, I could easily tell with palpating that she had eggs in her.

It really does go to show that they're all different, and they're on their own schedules.
