thank you all for the advise! I currently have her on 2 crickets a day to start, and will move her to 3 every other day. She seems to be doing ok, but I can tell she’s mad at me since she doesn’t want to come out of her enclosure when I open the door. I’ve noticed since she laid her eggs...

And if I feed her every other day, it’s not starving her? I guess I need to wrap my head around reptiles can’t be compared to a dogs or other animal.

Ok. And water everyday? Is that not starving her and reducing her supplement intake? Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question.

Ok. So what should I do as a feeding schedule? Do I feed her every other day? Right now she’s doing 3-4 crickets once a day. I’ll have to check her basking temp again.

She is completely done. 63 eggs

She did it!!! Didn’t want to touch it yet since it’s fairly new and my daughter has a game so I didnt have time to go through it. But I’m so happy!!! And she so skinny and flabby

It was midnight and she was still digging. She slept in her bin last night and was digging as soon as lights came on. My husband misted her like normal prior to lights but I didn’t want to feed her since I didn’t want to disturb her. So I’m really hoping she’s close to laying

And I appreciate all of you guys! This is so stressful. I changed her laying bin with something a few inches bigger. I was worried that she wouldn’t touch it but she ended up going down. Her lights went out and she’s still digging so I’m assuming she may fall asleep in it while digging. She...

Understandable and I definitely learned that during this whole process. I’m just trying to figure out when I should really be concern and how long does the whole process take. As mentioned before by MissSkittles, certain signs are indicators of her being egg bound, but she’s still acting...

Substrate is a soil I purchased from the exotic pet store (can’t remember the name) mixed with play sand. No, she can’t see anyone. She has a blanket covering the bottom half of her enclosure.

this is what she currently looks like

On the 17th she did it for a little bit and stopped. Didn’t dig at all from the 17th until Friday. Friday she was in her laying bin before I can even feed her. She stayed in there for a couple hours and came up to her basking spot. She ate and went back and dug some more but comes back up. I...

Hey! How long is the laying process? My girl started digging on the 17th and stopped for a little bit. She started digging again on Friday and has been digging all weekend but still hasn’t laid any eggs. Do you think she’s having difficulties or just not ready? I’m not sure how long this how...

Ok. I may add some more substrate to it to make it a bit deeper and I think I need to add some moisture to it since it’s drying out a bit
