Bit confused?

Thanks for the replies guys - nice to know I retained some knowledge from GCSE biology! Do they ever have more than two litters from the same mating, or can I safely say that's my wild type girl finished for the year? My male is kept separately now and not looking to breed them next year, but excited about these wee worms, and will hopefully have some from my albino female to look forward to as well!

Not that I know of, but as shannon said, double clutching happens. This species occurs in areas where they can be active year 'round making double clutching possible/feasible. She need only to be carrying viable sperm and have adequate body mass reserves for converting to eggs. I would say the chances of carrying viable sperm after two clutches begins to drastically diminish after about a year.
