female age vs. egg production

I've read a little bit on this but would like to get some more input from y'all who've bred over the years. Our female amel was received on trade earier this year, and not much info was given, due to the fact that the guy we got her from received her on a trade also...She's roughly 4 1/2' (easily, she dwarfs our male) and was cooled by the previous owner with thoughts towards breeding her...We had cooled our male so we put them together a few times and witnessed copulation on Mar. 1 and Mar. 13th. She dropped a clutch of 28 eggs on May 19th, and they were all small and very off-colored, so much so I sat around the house totally bumming thinking she slugged the entire clutch. But I set them up in the incubator and carefully candled a few a couple days later, with positive results...So far it looks like 2 eggs are duds, and the rest look fine...Just looking for thoughts comparing clutch and egg size from females who have been bred over the years...Did the clutch size increase?...Did the egg size decrease?...appearance of the eggs change?...Appreciate any thoughts/insights on this and hope everyone's having a great year!...peace, Chris

hey there.

first of all youve got a really nice looking amel there.

Well in my own opinion having less eggs in the clutch will result into bigger eggs and when they hatch you will get really nice big babies.

When my amel female had her first clutch she laid 18 eggs about medium size,the second season she laid 11 eggs which were really big and the babies were really big as well.

well congrats on the eggs hope they all hatch.:)
