Both of my 2 female DH Patternless and Rainwater Albino just laid their 12th clutch. I've been cooling them to slow them down, but they don't listen. I've had a few girls lay 9 or even 10 clutches, but 12 is new to me. They don't even look like they've started breeding, they're fat, sassy and eating machines, weigh over 70 grams.
Since the male is a PA, and they're double hets, I should get 25% PA's in a perfect world. So far they've produced 48 eggs between them, 40 hatched. The first 36 eggs produced 6 PA's, mostly albinos and surprisingly few DH normals. But today, I hit the jackpot with 2 clutches hatching. One clutch of 1 Patternless Albino and one albino, and the other clutch of 2 Patternless Abinos!!!
I'm thinking the girls want to keep laying until I've got the statistical 25% PA's.
The real purpose of this post (besides bragging
is to see if anyone else has, or has heard of leos laying 12 or more clutches in one season? Next year I'm going to start cooling them after the 8th clutch, hope to slow them down to no more than 9 or 10. Even though they aren't suffering any from the looks of it, I'm sure they would benefit from fewer eggs.
