But wow! two maybe? clutches with parentthogenis(sp) wow!

First of all, this original thread is over 3 years old. You can start a new thread on a similar topic if it so warrants it.
Secondly, most females will ovulate even if not brumated, and some of those will even lay an entire clutch of infertile eggs. I believe that most of those females that develop follicles simply reabsorb them, but there are always a bunch that enjoy laying clutches of slugs.
I would quite honestly expect that your eggs from last year were simply a clutch of slugs and not a clutch of fertile eggs from a female that was never mated.
