My veild cham is digging so that she can lay eggs, but she has hit bottom of the container and still wants to dig. What should I do?

How deep is your current lay bin?

 

[joepakaluk]

About seven inches.

Okay, it is understandable that she would want to go deeper than that. Usually a bin around twelve inches is a minimum. She may lay the eggs anyhow, just keep an eye on her. If she doesn't lay them, change the bin out with a deeper substrate. I wouldn't interrupt her though. Sometimes the female will become startled and not complete the process and then you will have to deal with possible egg retention if she doesn't decide to try again.

How many eggs did she lay? Did she fill in the hole and tamp it down?
