It really depends on the girl ... I've had some smaller ones breed and lay good eggs, I've also had smaller girls slug out and then not lay again for 3 years ... The bottom line is that if a female is ready she will lay, if she's not she won't ... sometimes being "ready" to a female might mean 1 clutch every 4 years ... not good if you're looking for consistent and predictable reproduction.
