so september 29 i bought a blue nosey be from a friend who owns a pet store that was at the reptile expo, i fell in love and took him home, about a month later he offered me a female he had that supposedly my male was the father of the soon to be babies, he had 4 pregnant females and couldnt handle all of them so i took her in, i set her up in my walk in closet all to herself i dont have a door on it so i mad half a door and the other half a sheet so she cant see us but we can see her. i have her set up with a type of palm tree a umbrella and a lilac, also i have set up some sticks so she can roam freely to anywhere she wants to, at the time shes free roaming. i have a big tub thats about a foot in width 16 inches in lentgh and about 8-10 inches deep full of eco dirt, burying dirt and coco husk all mixed. i feed her 5 millworms every other day and she cup feeds so i put it in her food she usually eats three one day and two the other day i mist her twice a day and make sure she drinks when i mist her, i make sure her dirt is always moist so when she digs she can make a proper tunnel. her humidity is always 50-60 and temps 70-80. but i havent seen any egg laying yet. not even digging! shes getting bigger everyday but she hasnt even tried to lay eggs im really worried, its been to long so i doubt my boy is the father unless she retained the sperm.. i dont know what im doing wrong this is my first time with a pregnant female. any clue to what im doing wrong? i would love a second opinion ive done all the reaserch i possibly can and still have no idea what im doing wrong. here are some pictures of her i took yesterday

She looks big, but I don't think that's gravid coloration. Have you touched her belly? And why are you feeding her only mealworms?
 
she wont eat anything else but millworms ive tried cockroaches crickets. everything. i was told she was pregnant but thats all i know, my male found her when we first got her and she showed her gravid colors to him but i immediately took them away from each other she hasnt seen him since.
 
So she is gravid, what is your concern then? Sorry, I just don't understand ;)
I could only suggest feeding her freshly moulted mealworms so she wont get constipated.

she hasnt laid yet thats my concern.. i dont wanna loose her to being egg bound. and shes not constipated she poops normaly
 
update: she ended up not being gravid, i was lied to but i did successfully mate her with my nosey be and she has started digging so she should lay soon, im glad it happened this way so i know now for sure my nosey be is the father. and everything has happened correctly so im excited :) just waiting for her to lay and i got a good 9 months of more waiting -__-
