Third week of incubation

The egg seen from above.

The egg seen from one side (keeping it in vertical position) 

 

 

Yesterday I palpated the female to check if she was still carrying eggs. She was. I also took a picture of her back end. I do not recall that the supracaudal scutes were so brown.  Maybe I didn't notice, but it could also be that in the process of wear/growth of the keratin layer the background color became more obvious in comparison to previous years. 

In the picture the turtle is wet, which increases the constrast between colors.
