Yes they do.

yes sir They lay approximately 3 clutches of eggs from one x male visit

So after 3 clutches you should put her back with the male to be safe?

3 is an estimate - but if its the same male its no problem.

Like I said after 3 I should put her back (with the same male) to be safe.

I know allot of people only put 1 male and 1 female then when the deed is done they take male and/or female out.
Do they put them back together after aprox. 3 clutches?
Also how do you know when she is done laying for the year (I think I know but idk how to spell it lol).

I used to pair them up again after four clutches, but this year the fourth clutch from several females were infertile while previous clutches were fertile. I now do it after three clutches as well.

Once females stop ovulating I discontinue their breedings whether they laid two clutches or ten.
