I would honestly pair that female since it's probably only the beginning of her season. With mine, she was bred with a fire LAST season...she just never laid.

you dont know if sperm has been retained or not, not for sure anyway. better do the pairing, and you might still get lucky and get a multi-sire clutch.
Both of my breeders this season are new breeders. One I have been pairing for nearly a month now and he's still not locking (he's got plugs and is 700g). This other one is 700g or so and producing plugs but I've never introduced him to a female. He would be the one I would throw in with her.

I'll see about pairing them this week after they digest (today is feeding day!) and see what happens.
