Tobey,
My leo laid 1 infertile egg and about 3 weeks later she laid 2 fertile
eggs. She got huge and her tail shrank noticeably. Almost all females of
most species produce eggs on a seasonal or monthly basis. Chickens lay an
egg every day whether they have seen a male or not. What amazes me is
lizards that Don't lay eggs every 3 weeks. It sounds like you are taking
good care of her. Pinky mice are good for putting weight on.
