Well, this has been in the works for about 2 months now.
I found a breeder of lucesitics that I like. She seems to like to focus on the lighter colorings. So, after telling her what I have and size requirements she made a recommendation of a baby that she has available. Her sisters, from previous clutches, are measuring in at 21" and still filling out.
Anyways, I made the purchase as the breeder didn't mind holding on to her until the weather in my area broke. We were having snow, rain, and cold days that neither of us wanted chance. Well 3 weeks ago we were about to get that chance. Then I had a medical thing in the family and no one was going to be home for her to arrive so I called her and she said that it was no big deal and she liked having her around because this girl is a little diva. Shortly after we were going to get another break and I was all setup to have someone home to await her arrival and then I get a email..... The email says that she wanted to inform me that my girl just laid a set of infertle eggs. Neither of us could believe this because the girl is only 6 months old and 280 grams. So, I asked her if she would mind holding on to her again to help ease the stress and fatten her back up. She said no problem.... That was 11 days ago.
So I started researching. 2/3's of the cases that I found where the girl laid infertile clutches at under 1 year old they needed to be bred to get them to stop laying. Meaning.....That most would lay clutch after clutch after clutch of infertile eggs. I contacted the breeder to get an update and told her of my findings. Since neither of us have ever seen a girl lay infertiles at this age we were both a bit concerned. So, the phone call goes in to her vet.
The vet stated that we have 2 options. He seemed to agree with my findings but, because it is so rare gave us options.
Option 1
Ship her like planned on Monday. She is eating like a pig, healthy, and seemingly unphased by the recent egg laying. Other than loosing weight. The shipment will stress her out and any added stress would stop the production of more eggs. If she were producing. Then we keep a close eye on her for the next month. if she lays another set of infertile eggs we were advised that we should wait 3 weeks and check her. If she had another set to put her in with a smaller male. This will give us time to get her diet planned, fattened up, and comfortable with her enviornment. I would hate to do this but, the vet is under the strong opinion that she will not produce eggs after shipment. (This is what we are going to do)
Option 2
Basically, similar to option 1. Except, wait out to see if she produces another set of eggs. Then fatten her up again and place her with a male.
Before anyone flames me for this. I don't breed my girls until they are 18 months. They are all above 500 grams and full grown. I am very careful with my breedings and my girls. We did confirm with a registered reptile vet. There are less then 2 per state from what I understand. This guy, only sees reptiles. Not only that, our ultimate goal is to get her to stop producing eggs for now. So we are shipping her. Hoping to actually put the stress on her to get her body to stop producing eggs.
I can't tell you how excited I am to get a Luceistic into my family. She is a beautiful white with nice pink undertones.
