Well, she's laid one so far, I'm pretty sure there's another one in there (first clutch), one side of her is bigger than the other side...
How long till she lays the second one of the clutch?

Could be anywhere from a couple hours to a few days...it's nothing to worry about unless her behavior changes (she refuses food, looks lathargic, you see her straining, looking like she's trying to lay but can't).

From the other answers, since she laid only 1 egg, there may be one more coming, so I would say within two weeks (could be 5 seconds from now, could be 15 days from now). That will finish off her first clutch. Her second clutch will probably come a month-ish (give or take a week) after she ends her first clutch.

i have one every year where the first two clutches the eggs are laid 1 at a time a few days apart and then she starts with two at a time so no worries unless a change in behavior!

Thanks you guys!
She's still 'nesting', laying by the side of the laybox, how long should I wait before I get worried?

Also, I've always wondered wether the temp fluctuation that occurs when you open the incubator [to add moisture, to to put the other egg inside etc etc] would cause any deformities/damage?
