She moved to the other side of the bin now and is digging away! She's got a nice tunnel going, maybe tomorrow evening?!?! I hope so...this is stressful. I think I'll just leave that big lay bin in there once she's done, that way it's always there if she needs it again, and it collects the...

Digging! Lily still hasn't laid her eggs, but she did start digging a little yesterday, and today she has been digging in the same spot for about 4 hours now. I guess she just wasn't ready before? She was still basking and eating, etc. so I wasn't too worried, she didn't seem stressed out at...

Okay thank you so much for all the help guys! I will also look into getting a lower watt bulb to lower the temps a bit but I'll wait until after she lays her eggs. Maybe that's why she was so mad before when we cut back her food, because the temps were still kinda high so her metabolism was...

Hmm...not sure how she would have gotten burned, right at the top beside the light is 88-90*F right against the screen, then temps gradually go down to 71 at the bottom (using IR temp gun). Plus she only ever has her head right up beside the light at 90*F, never her body that I've seen (you can...

Okay thank you :) Hopefully she will feel more secure now that the plant is there too. I tried digging a hole, you can see it much better in the pics on the last page before I put her plant in. Should I try covering it up and let her make her own?

I'm pretty sure a Persea americana is toxic

lol that's partially our fault I guess...she was really fat when we got her (as I said she was fed 3 dozen crickets a day) then I found this site and I was told to feed her 6-8 feeders ever 2-3 days so I started that but she got SO mad, was dark almost black all day until I fed her. So lately...

What marks are you guys talking about anyway?? The white lines and circles? The weird greyish circles/blotches?

Oh no, what else could the bumps be??? Here are some pics I just took 5 minutes ago, she is a little dark though because she does NOT like the camera lol and as you can see she is not digging...and no sign that she was digging...ugh. and here is her enclosure (normally she has a...

Okay that's what I figured, thanks!

Okay will do!! Thanks! Maybe I'll pick up a few fat hornworms for her too :) It's so hard not being able to go check on her!! I want to see if she is actually digging! But I won't don't worry. Oh, if she's in her lay bin tonight when I go to turn off her lights, should I leave them on to let...

She's in the bin!!! :D Hopefully she lays them!! I went upstairs to check on her when I got home and she was just basking so I re-wet the sand because it was a bit dry I think, you could still make a tunnel but it didn't hold as well. Then I went downstairs to look for the camera to take a...

Okay she still eats a bit, but lately in the evenings she has definitely been looking, just the past few nights though (that I've noticed) but always on the ground beside the lay bin. Yesterday I turned the bin on an angle though so there is hardly any room down beside it so hopefully she will...

I have her whole tank covered and she's in a private room. yeah I think she should be able to get in and out easily. If she isn't in it when I get home I'll take a picture of the enclosure with the lay bin so you guys can let me know what you think! This morning she was still nice and bright...

Still nothing but she's definitely looking...saw her on the bottom of her tank again last night! Why won't she go in her lay bin?

Lol my boyfriend was actually getting a little frustrated yesterday saying "Are you sure she's even gravid?!?! That's what they told us before!!!" (when we first got Lily I introduced her on here and everyone thought she was gravid then, but I think she was just fat lol the guy we got her from...

really? I thought males had more of a vertical pattern? Interesting!

Okay Lily has a lay bin now. It consists of damp sand in a large rubbermaid bin, probably about 2'x2'x1.5' with about a foot of sand. It JUST fit into the bottom of her enclosure and I put a few sticks in the sand so she can get in and out. She is also in a private room by herself. Sound good...

Your girls colours sound just like my female veiled, and I've been told by people on here that those are gravid colours. Did you get her a lay bin today? I just put a lay bin in for my female, even though I haven't seen her going to the bottom much. Nothing yet though, I guess we'll have to...

Hmm I never really thought about that, the sheet I mean. I think I will put her upstairs into the office where she will be alone almost all day unless I decide to go up there to do some homework (and even then I'd be sitting there quietly). Then I'll just take the sheet off. I've been thinking...
