    That comment is not neccessarily true. There are plenty of animals that lay viable clutches every year. It just depends on the animal. Including feeding habits, husbandry and even the males sperm. My guess is if she did ovulate and she has some slugs, she probably didn't bounce back fully. Meaning she did not gain enough weight back. That is why it is good to keep record and make sure your animals are the same if not heavier weight than the year before. Also, as Rich stated, that girl does not look like she ovualted. She would be a lot fatter all the way down to a couple inches above the cloaca.
