Do you have a laying bin and are you sure she's supposed to lay soon?

 

[Johnny84]

Yes we have a 8 inch pot in her cage and we also put her in a 11 gallon garbage can with 12 inches of dirt...and she was mated on or around June 20th!

I've heard you're supposed to use play sand, are you using dirt from outside your house?

 

[Johnny84]

No...I'm using SuperSoil and Eco-Earth 50/50 mix...Ive heard about the sand...that'll be my next step I think!

It can take 20-40 days after mating to lay.

Has your female done any digging at all?
When did you put the egglaying container in her cage?

It could take her a little longer to lay eggs. Mine did after 4 1/2 weeks, but some lay 6 weeks after mating. Mine just started digging lots of tunnels and ended up laying at the bottom of her 8 inch tub. Just gotta wait.

What age does a female lay her first batch of eggs?

eggs

Ive had females go 6 weeks... thought they were egg bound.. best thing to do is leave her in her cage.. alone.. with little to no disturbances... i have used playsand for the past 14 yrs.. nice and moist... not wet..not dry.. just clumpable...put her container taward the back corner of her cage.. and cover that side.. leave the front and other sides open for air flow and to help keep the heat down..to answer the other question on breeding age.. 9 months would be the earliest by any means... i usually breed my (verg) females around 10-11 months.. egg barring females take on alot of stress.watch for sighns of her normal behavior changing.. if shes not eating or roaming her cage more then usual like around the bottom and such.. shes getting close..within a few days.. ..hope any of this info helps
