I was hoping someone else would answer.
From what I've heard (so no personal experience yet), from about the 5-6 yr mark they decrease in eggs laid per clutch, but they don't stop.
From that, I'd imagine then that there's no age barrier, as they or the partner either wouldn't be interested, or the eggs wouldn't be fertile.
How old is the one you're thinking of breeding, if that's the Q.?
Hope someone else can help a bit more - Kathy

we have a group of 8 year olds we never got around to breeding as we didn't have the knowledge. now that i have some experience in this i have noticed some traits that i want to keep going. eg size and colours. yet i don't want to put my fav lizards in harms way just for this. i may just stick with the younger ones.
Thanks all
