Sequel to extremly confused (lol)

Ok this is a story about my leos changing sex on me. Now you may chose to belive me or not (probly not). But my boyfriend and myself and a few close friends (that also keep reptiles) know it is 100% the truth. I'm going to try to break it down as easy as possible.

When i got my first 2 leos i had bought them at 5 months of age was told Loki was a male and Lyja was a female. Lyja died in 2 weeks of getting her (not my fault died of a calcium def. that was in her before i got her and nothing i could do to save her). So one of my close friends bought me a new leo Speedball Female. Ok so at this point i have Loki-Male, Speedball female. a few months go by and i decide to add to my collection. I get Domino-Female. a few more months go by and yet i want another girl so i find Phoenix -Girl.

Ok break down at this point Loki-Male, Speedball-Female, Domino-Female, Phoenix-Female. I decided to go get them sexed for reassurance. I was told That Loki was a girl and domino was the boy. So no problem i still have one boy and three girls. At this point they around 1 1/2. YEAH Speedballs pregnant but wait shes the only one for a whole year to get pregnant. Speedball laid only 2 eggs that season. Both of them hatched and one was a boy and the other a girl. so i decieded to sell the boy and keep the girl. Remember ive had these 4 leos at this point for over 6 months.

Ok next breeding season so to recap i've had the leos for a long time now. At this point i also accuire a new leo i had hatched from a friends clutch his name is lucky( born 2 weeks after rouge) i know hes a boy. and i have kept one from my clutch named Rouge. so i have 6 leos at this point. I introduce lucky to speedball, loki, and phonix, and rouge, all succesfully pregnant.

So i was wondering if domino was supposed to be my boy then why didn't she do the trick last season. So i decieded to introduce lucky which i knew was a boy to domino to see what happend. And i found out (mating) now domino is gravid. I'm completely blown at this point. because my original 4 all laid eggs how could this be. There was no way speedball was introduced to a male and i had her for over 6 months before she laid her first clutch. And come to find out the other 3 in the cage with her where all girls.

I know they can lay eggs without mating but i thought they would have been infertile. But mine werent they made it. So if anyone has any ideas let me know. If not i stick by it leos can change sex (i guess).

I want to hear anyones ideas on this and i swear on my whole collection of my reptiles i am not making this up at all. I have only told a few people because most people laugh at this. BUT IT'S TRUE!!!!

Thanks, Jamie
