It was this same time last year (late December) that they started mating for their first clutch, with the first egg (of seven) laid in early Feb. They then produced a second clutch (of five) in June. It will be interesting to see how things go for them this year.
Is it mating season for them again already?

@ I thought they just had back to back clutches this summer? Wouldn’t this be their fourth clutch?
Yes, they’ve been busy; this will be their third clutch (#1 was Feb-May, #2 was Jun-Sep)
