my question was more geared towards them fighting. do males and females cohabit-ate well this time of year?

and she must have reabsorbed her eggs or laid them. she's dug maybe ten tunnels on her side. or one huge labyrinth with ten openings. we'll probably put them together after double checking with a local person (who bred these beauties for years), if we can find him. how far down are these eggs? the sand is now ~8" deep; the deepest i've seen her dig is 6" (on other side) and there is a heating pad underneath.

please, no psycho fatalist answers making this seem difficult.
