: one more; how long do females go before laying another clutch after the first? thanks again

Mine took about 120 days for most of them. A couple went a couple of weeks longer probably due to some level of diapause.

You can candle the eggs after a month and see arterial development. If you candle them every month or so you can track differences in development rate between eggs and "forecast" if some are slower than others.
