Good luck :) I always thought you could only bred them once a year though because even because the weight might be up that the vitamins such as calcium might not be that high but in the wild they would breed as many tomes as they could I think so who knows.
I will only breed a 2nd time if i think they are really really healthy and can do so otherwise i use them just once a year.
Some triple clutch in one year but i think thats pushing it way to much even if breeding is started early like december/january like some do
I know but it's your animal or pet which ever term you prefer. There are quite a few females that have difficulty laying one clutch of eggs and become egg bound even though they appear to be healthy because of other things they haven't built up that you can't see. I guess it;'s like women having a child after they have just had one/lost one. It's natural but it does come with added risks.
What happens is what happens but I would get some sort of reptile vitamin boast to be on the safe side if she is now carrying eggs.
Yeh its a good idea, i have used it before. Got some time because it will be about 4 week before she goes off her food |

I think you are wasting your time anyway, corns retain sperm, they are capable of double clutching even without being with another male.
So you actually have no idea what your gonna get, so you cant reliably say that you just want to see what shes carrying genetically.
In the wild, corns breed once a year, what you are doing is forcing her to be chased and most likely raped (noth that they dont anyway), you are also forcing her to possibly yeald another clutch before she is likely to be ready to do so.
What you are doing is unfair, unwise, irresponsible, bordering on cruel.
I just hope people dont follow your example.
Dont be surprised if you have to fork out for the vets, dont complain if you do. |

Thank you for commenting on this Mike, I had hoped an experienced breeder would give their opinion. I know that a lot of us who have been following this thread have our own personal opinions on what Andrew has done, but dont have the experience to comment - but you do.
I am just sorry he didnt think to ask whether this was a good idea before he did it and I pray that his female gets through this without being seriously damaged or even worse.

Shes Fat, grossly overweight, that in itself is irresonsible, you should be watching her weight, not allowing her to get so terribly overweight.
You wanna be careful you dont kill her with your stupidity. |
