Hello everyone, my Nosy Be female is about 8.5 months old now and she showed receptive colors about a month and half ago. She has always been a healthy eater but the past few days she has tapered from eating about 10 to 5-6 crickets per day. And now, today, she seems to have no interest in any crickets. Wondering if she might be gravid with an infertile clutch? This is my first time dealing with this situation so I just wondered if anyone could give some insight on it. I have a 12 inch deep bucket in there with her full on sterilized play sand that has been moistened. It has been in there with her for about 1 month just in case. Strangely, she seemed to be going down towards the bottom of the enclosure a lot 2 weeks ago. But never tried laying or anything. Now she just seems to hang out midway and at the top. I noticed she had been drinking a LOT of water the past 2 days. So much water that she has been pooping nothing but white about 3 hours after her main, normal morning poo. I have read several other forum postings saying their females drank a lot before they went to lay as well. Slightly worried about the eating thing, though I know I shouldn't be, just curious if this is normal pre-laying behavior or something else that could need attention before it gets worse, i.e. a sickness or parasite.

Yeah sure thing. Here is a pic of her from this morning. She actually ended up eating 3 crickets yesterday, so thats a lot better nothing.
I do have a laying bin for her. Its about 12 inches by 12 inches and it is full of moist playsand.
