The mothers different in the two pictures of the female are about two months time, a flash in the first if I remember correctly, and she was wet, had been digging, and just laid eggs. She is a midnight blizzard, kind of purply, sometimes it looks redder, sometimes bluer, and in the right light the spots have a yellow glow.
I have two females, they lay two eggs per clutch, and lay 4-6 clutches per year on average. This first clutch took 46 days to hatch. So they are all staggered out, the 12 I have now were layed between mar 18th and this last tuesday.
