Weird egg laying timing

Tilly has been laying a clutch roughly once a month. She's in a 20L with her mate, and they get along incredibly well. They are so cute together. She laid her first viable clutch Feb 4 (those just hatched this week), and another March 3. Then she laid a clutch on March 19. Today, my 10 year old son found freshly-laid eggs in her box when we were on our way out for a wallk. Now, the eggs that she laid on the 19th are kind of slimey, and one is getting caved in, despite the moisture level being high enough. Is it possible that she quick-brewed a couple of infertile eggs (the 3/19 ones) for some reason? If so, is this indicative of something that I need to change in their husbandry?

Thanks in advance for any input!

I have some a group that 2 different females laid (1-2 days apart but basically on) 2/19 fertile, 3/1 fertile, 3/17 infertile then yesterday got 4 fertile from the 2 girls so I guess its normal, I take their mate out when they are about to lay and put him back in a few days after the eggs are laid so I have no idea why those are infertile.

Last year all I got from the leos were infertile eggs, I think it was the male so I don't have anything to compare it too.

Most of my other leos are just getting ready to mate since I bought them in Jan, but I do have a few that are laying now and most are all fertile or all infertile but thse 2 girls with the same male flip flopped on me.

Was this her first breeding season?

Yes - and her very first clutch, which I didn't list above but was laid in Jan, was infertile.

Mine are first timers too Heather so that is probably what it is. Ive had infertile eggs on 3 cluthes in a row from 3 other females, then got fertile clutches last week.

Did you see any molds or anything like that? I guess the slime you described could be some sort of fungus. I would say that it is entirly possible that she laid a couple infertiles beings this is her first year. I wouldnt worry to much unless it starts spreading to your other eggs.

I'll keep a close eye on them. They're in a separate container in the incubator. I am incredulous that she can produce two clutches two weeks apart. Wow. That's a lot of egg makin'. I'll assume that they're infertile, and keep a close eye on them, JUST in case. Thanks for your input!!
