First eggs of the year, can small females breed?

Yeah, I've had her for three years now and for various reasons I suspect she was originally imported as a gravid wild caught and then sold after she dropped her eggs. She was a horrible eater when I first got her, it took months just to get her to take one small rat. But even once she started eating well she never put on any more size. So, I finally decided to breed her this year.

That's an even better story then! Glad to hear she's obviously well acclimated into captivity, and the fact that she's given you eggs, even better! Although smaller she looks obviously healthy.
