so the eggs are almost a mounth old today and 2 eggs are starting to dimple, they are not changing color or anything should i just leave them for now,my vermiculite was starting to dry and has been moistend.
also while candling the eggs on a few i can see what looks like a big red brine shrimp moving , well morte like twitching inside the eggs
also the mother still isnt showing sighns of more eggs yet how common is just one clutch?

thanks again

Eggs are a month old, so you got roughly another 30 days. The dimples should dissapear with adding moisture. Unlike bird eggs, reptile eggs shouldn't be candled. In the wild they are burried and don't see light till they hatch. Candling can scare the babies and could result in the fetis detatching from the yolk ending in death. As far as the female, its not strange for them to store sperm and using it when they are ready. I found that if I give my females 1.5-2 months off after laying, they'll be gravid within the first day of reintroducing her to the male. She'll start to show a couple weeks after that. GL with your project!
