question about ova

[stickinsect123]

I just wondered, when a female eurycantha calcarata lays her very first egg after a few weeks of being adult will this egg be fertile? Ive heard that they are capable of parthogenosis

[Daniel Ballmer]

Has she mated? They are capable of parthenogenesis, but it's not very healthy.

[stickinsect123]

I have males in with her, for the first few weeks of her being adult I didn't keep the eggs Because I didn't think they would be sexually produced

[Daniel Ballmer]

No, they weren't. She surely mated with one of the males right after her final moult and all eggs she produced were sexual.
