Hey! I have been keeping these guys for a while now and I am pretty sure I have a pair :p well today I found four or five of these :)

I don't know how many more she will lay or if they are even fertile, but I thought I would share this with you guys.
 
Yes I will have to look for them though, here is the back of the female and you can see how big she is. I have 6 developing eggs so far, the other 3 she laid went moldy :(

According the care sheet on this site, this species can lay up to 200 eggs a season. From the looks of yours, she'll likely lay at least 100 or so before all's said and done. =) Mine have given me 10 so far, all fertile and developing, but she looks much smaller than yours, so she'll likely only produce maybe 40 or 50 at the most. I heard that females produce more eggs as they age, so that might be it, mine is only about 3 years old and this may very well be her first time producing eggs. Do you have any idea how old yours is?

Congrats
