When you say "her last one was laid Feb 13th" do you have the feeling she might be egg bound, or are you asking opinions on health/coloration?

Yes she is gravid again..wondering if I should get worried again, even if she is still eating and moving around...

Thanks..

How long has her abdomen been swollen like that? If it is just recently I wouldn't worry, given that her behavior and appearance seem healthy otherwise.

Do you seperate m/f or do you leave them housed continuosly? Did you notice or feel eggs in Feb. or March?

First of all, she has laid 3 other clutches so far. I have her in her own tank, and has been for a while because about a month or so ago she couldn't get along with the male, and my other female decided all of a sudden to freak out at her and try to bite her any chance she could. I have another shot of her in march also to show that she was large at that time also.
I have been able to see the shape of the eggs through her sides, but not really able to SEE the actual eggs through the belly, I can just see the shapes of them.

(I think I answered all the questions here)

Thank you..
