The orange (blush) color means they are ovulating and will become quite appealing right now to a courting male she may not be receptive at first but as some time goes by she will, and hopfully they will mate with in the next couple weeks, (If they have not already.)

If they do not mate she still will have eggs, although not fertile, and need a laying nest/ spot. So prepare that for her soon.
Also remember they can reabsorb eggs , so if you would ever see her getting large and time goes by and nothing happens and then you notice her becoming slimmer, and orange fading out, then that's what happened.

thats what i thought, but then another poster said his female became blush after she mated, so thats when i got confused!! But it seems they have their own rules that they follow!! the orange is really faint, you have look up close to see it, i wish it was brighter!! does it start out faint, and then get brighter???

not that i know im getting eggs or not, but in the case that i do what should i do for incubators. let say i get eggs tommorow, and i need to make an artifical incubator, what would i do? i searched online for instructions, but i found alot bird incubator instructions, and im not if bird incubators are the same for reptiles, however it seems all eggs need the same thing, heat and moisture and a constant between the 2. what would be the most efficient, but simple incubator. where can i buy an incubator? so yeah... this is something i have to think about before hand.
