This gal just had her pre lay shed... second clutch.
Previously she laid a non fertile clutch of nine eggs. After a rapid weight gain over a two week span, I suspected ovulation. I did feel what seemed to be follicles in her. This time I introduced her to a normal male cal king who was exposed to the same "natural brumation temps" as the first male. This male however did stay in his hide for a month and showed little movement. There was imediate copulation that lasted for about 4 hours. I did not introduce him as a back up the first time because I was shooting for a 100% albino clutch.

Very cool!!! Have you bred her to the albino male before without any problems?

No... I picked them up as a proven pair for cheap at a reptile show. Perhaps that is why. I never actually saw copulation between the two albinos. With my normal male the copulation was immediate.

Yeah, maybe that's why. Hopefully things go good this time around.
