thanks for your reply,exactly what I thought about the second chance thing.I have inherited her off my father when he could no longer look after her and she really is a living heirloom?

We do have a strange soil type here which is very free draining once wet but it is very hard to get wet sometimes and is more or less water repellent,like when you put water into flour when making a cake?Normally I have piles of lawn clippings/leaves etc which she hangs out in and then burrows deeper as it cools down.This is the first time like this in the ten years I have been looking after her.She layed two clutchs of fertile eggs last year as normal and was mated in the fall before going down.I wonder if she will want to lay this year but as we are already into declining day lengths?http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/repto11/jillnataliebday029.jpg that is a pic of her if it works?
