breeding burmation question

[seymours]

So my female was bred once and laid one clutch of 22 eggs. Did not lay any more for about 6 months till she got bred again and just laid another clutch of 31. So i was wondering since she only had 1 clutch the first time is it likely that this next will be the same or do you think she will lay more? I was thinking about putting them through burmation this year but not sure if i should? Any help thanks

I would suggest waiting at least 60 days from the last clutch laid before brumating. Fatten her up, in case there is another late clutch coming. A gravid female brumating could kill her.

will she be ok not to burmate this year?

Brumation can be unavoidable in an adult, however I would not recommend inducing brumation until she is definitely not gravid.
