I have a leo book that ron tremper co-wrote. in it they have an estiment as to how many eggs on average a tipicall female will lay: year-1 =0,year-2=8,year-3=12,4=16,5=14 ,6=10 and it slowly gose down untill age12 that is retireing age, so peak breeding age is 4 years of age ......well hope that helps

Keep in mind however that Ron Tremper's book is not gospel, and every leopard gecko is different. I've heard stories of females that lay 12 clutches their first breeding season.

My most prolific gecko laid 20 eggs her first season, all of which hatched. On the other hand, another gecko I have since retired had a grand total of 3 fertile eggs. By the way, the 20-egg layer, 2 seasons later, kept laying eggs outside the lay box and produced a total of 2 live hatches this past season.

depends on the age. heres a chart of the age and amount of eggs laid.

1----0
2----8
3----12
4----16
5----14
6----10
7----10
8----8
9----6
10---4
11---4
12---0
13---0
usually each breeding season the amount of eggs laid slightly insreaces with age, them decreases as they get older. i hope this helps and isnt confusing. i was told that every female should only be bred for 5-6 years, but i'm not sure.
