In the last month i decided to Get my Female 18 month old Ackie a mate, i purchased a 2 yr old male who is a known breeder, slowly introduced them, everything went off without a hitch, she wasn't receptive at first but within a few days she would follow him around the tank everywhere, i documented the last time i saw them mating, and according to many forums, info pages, experts ect ect. they can lay their eggs between 7-30 days after. I separated the male from the female after a few days or so because she seemed exhausted and he was constantly persistantly trying to mate with her, unsure whether she is gravid or not i placed the male in another enclosure allowing her to relax and if she is, to lay her eggs peacefully, its been 9 days since last known mate, she has been burrowing quite frequently has multiple burrows at different stages in the enclosure, a massive appetite and looks somewhat gravid but im not 100% what to look for, this being my first time. also have an incubator set up and ready to go just incase, any tips or suggestions or signs i should look out for?
sorry for the photo quality literally the best i could do without her running off she doesnt sit still often..
Added a few more photos for size comparrison between the male and female.
Cheers
