well nothing okay now she is laying on bottom of her cage more so does that mean shes may be prego? shes only like 4 inches maybe from head to butt.

Did you get a lay bin in there for her?

the tail up is just a thing, nothing weird.

 

[gordonw21]

no not yet thats why i was asking if she could be so i can get her one started will normal potting soil work? an how deep ?

 

[camimom]

she needs a lay bin, esp if you think she could have eggs.

organic top soil is fine, and it should be at least 12 inches deep.
damp enough she can dig a tunnel without it collapsing.

once she starts to dig, leave her alone.

and dont be concerned if she sleeps in her tunnel.

 

[gordonw21]

okay thank you ima do that now.

 

[gordonw21]

just went to the store got some organic soil an put it in a 5 gal bucket an put her in there with a small fake plant will that work an shes being more mean lately so i think she might have something going on.

 

[camimom]

yea shell be fine.

some females have to be sorta forced to lay.

meaning they wont until you put them in a bin and make them have to lay haha.

 

[gordonw21]

ah okay lol so since shes only in the been she will soon start digging if she needs to if not then what?

 

[camimom]

if she goes over 24 hours with no digging, then put her back in her cage.

if would be bst if you just put her lay bucket in her cage though.

 

[gordonw21]

ah okay well its too big to fit i her cage so i cant really do that.

 

[camimom]

maybe its time to get her a bigger cage.

 

[gordonw21]

i just got this one lol its a 18 x 18 x 36 an shes only like 3-4 inches an maybe a year old. think she needs to grow into this one first hehe

Ok, that is pretty small . From what I've read I have to say I think it's unlikely that she's gravid. Definitely do the laying bin thing to try her out, but don't panic if she doesn't lay. You need to find a way to keep the crickets alive (maybe you need to find a better supplier?) so you can gutload them with good stuff.
You are what you eat, and a Cham is what it's food eats too
Good that you have got the plain calcium for everyday, but gutloading is so important for a growing Cham too.
Repashy bug burger is the commercial one I use, but lots of fresh veggies and fruits too.
