Hi Guys,
I've had my pair of Vittatus together for a couple of months now. I've noticed that in the last couple weeks my female was starting to look gravid. Well tonight while I was doing me routine check I found the substrate in the lay box was all kicked up to one side. I figured, right on, looks like I might have some eggies. When I searched I only found one, and it was infertile. It was like a really deflated water balloon. Now keep in mind that she is a first time breeder. I was just wondering if it was normal for first time Vittatus breeders to lay infertile clutches as a first clutch? And to have only laid one egg. When should I expect her to lay another clutch? And do most of you keep the male in with the female at all times. I know with my leos as soon as I see the female is gravid I remove the male. The male doesn't seem to be bothering the female at all. And as far as incubation goes, I was planning on using perlite as a medium, with a 1.1 water ratio. And incubating the eggs at 83F. Sorry for all the questions lol. I've been breeding leos for 8 years now and this is my first time with an aussie species. Any info would be really appreciated.
Kind regards,

. It'll be a long 3-4 weeks until the next ones come. Roughly how many clutches should I expect from her? Nobody said anything about seperating the male though. What do you guys think?
