Hi all.
One of our females has laid 3 clutches now. 1st clutch was of 5, but one broke. 2nd clutch was of 3 but one broke.
This female always lays in the same spot, just over the edge of a flat stone. At 1st I assumed the broken eggs were hitting the stone as she dropped them in the hole.
However today I actually watched her lay her 3rd clutch of 3. The first one came out already broken, the 2nd egg was fine and the 3rd came out broken.
What are the reasons this could happen? She's about 13" SCL and the eggs are around 1.75" in diameter.
Thanks
