they usually lay 7-8 weeks or so after breeding. She sure does look "gravid" from the photo!, and yes, they many times will try to thermoregulate the eggs from an external source.......A very easy way to see if she has eggs(although it should be very visible by now) is to gently take her out and put a firm, but gentle pressure against her belly with the end of your thumb starting at the halfway point of her body. As your thumb slowly goes down her belly surface(with enough pressure to slightly indent the belly) you should be able to feel the "egg lumps" one by one as you go down..........in addition, if she IS gravid from the early Feb. mating, she will need a "lay box" as soon as possible so she can deposit them in a suitable spot!. From you're mating date, she will lay any time now!!!......Doug
