Southern Cal Vet Recommendations?

She is 10 months, approx. I got her at 4 months. She has never shown the orange/blue colors typically associated with receptiveness. She showed her "big girl" colors/patterns on Jan 1st but I haven't seen them for months. Now, for the last 2 weeks, she has the same dark green spots contrasting with light green. It's been beautiful.

I'll attach a couple links that you might find helpful. Each girl is different and there's no set time to become receptive and then gravid. I've had a female veiled that didn't lay her first infertile clutch until 14 months old. I also had a girl become eggbound at 5 months old. Normally, when receptive they turn a beautiful blue. Some only have blue dots. My girls would get off their free range and roam like crazy when receptive. I imagine they are looking for a mate. Some of my girls turned a darker color before they laid but not all of them. An x-ray is a good idea and the vet can tell you if the eggs are calcified, if she has eggs and maybe a guess as to how much longer before she lays. One thing they are pretty regular about is laying around 30 days after being mated.
