My montium, Trixie, laid another clutch of eggs today. She laid 9 eggs. I thought montiums were supposed to have 2 or 3 clutches a year, but this is the third clutch she's laid since I got her in January. The first was at the end of February, then she laid another on 6-13, and now another one today. The first clutch was fertile, although 6 of the 7 eggs went bad since I let them get to dry and I didn't notice because they all caved in from the underside. The one egg that made it hatched about 3 and a half weeks ago. I don't know if this clutch or the last one are fertile since I lost my male before I got a chance to breed them. All the eggs that I have look good except for one that went bad from the clutch laid in June. Does anyone know how long they can retain sperm to produce fertile clutches?
