Coming from you experienced breeders, is that true? Doesn't sound like it makes sense because I would think clutch size depends on the females size and age.

    What they are referring to is when you breed a female to small, if you do so she may always lay smaller clutches. They say 1500 grams, but not skinny, slightly smaller is usually fine if the girl is older then say 3+ years
