indentation?

[MangoTango]

Okay, mine never showed any “wanna dig” behavior during her restlessness period. She only stop 1-2 days before laying with eating and all 3 times she started in the morning, stayed in her hole overnight and finished everything the next day. They all got their own behavior, however stop eating is one strong indicator for all. Wish you both a quick and swiftly laying. And like others said, you got a beautiful girl.

thank you so much !

thank you so much !

No props
But I do agree with @kinyonga she looks pretty chunky and this could be a large clutch. Controlling this due temps (max 80 degree) and feeding (3 times a week 2-3 feeders each time) is crucial. Because she’s young it’s difficult sometimes for the first clutch.

IMHO, it's a little late to worry about controlling the diet and temps at this point. It's time to concentrate on getting through the egg production.

I have to agree that the indentation isn't something to worry about.
I am concerned that she is carrying a big clutch by the look of her in post#10. I hope you've been controlling her diet and temperatures?

yes so when I put the lay bin in, her temps increased to like 90°F so I got a lower wattage bulb, and I wasn’t sure about the feelings, she’s still young so I still feed her about 8 dubias per day, should I change that after she lays ?

Yes. After she lays, you’ll want to feed her well for a couple of days. Then you’ll start her on 3-4 feeders, 3 days a week and keep her basking temps at 80. This will help reduce the number of eggs she produces and/or the frequency that she lays. As a result, it will lengthen her life.

yes with the lower wattage bulb her temps range from 78-82! and ty! I will def watch her feedings after she lays

You'll want to count how many eggs she lays.
When she's digging to lay the eggs, do not let her see you watching her. It may make her feel that her lay site is unsafe and she will abandon it. This can lead to egg binding if it happens too much.

I don't know if you know the egglaying process...so I'll tell you.
She should become restless and roam the cage, may stop eating or eat less as the time to lay approaches. She should start to dig. She may dig more than one hole but should settle on ne and dig it until she is satisfied with it. She should turn around butt down in the hole...usually in the evening, and lay all her eggs one after the other. She should then fill the hole in and tamp it down and return to the branches, hungry, thirsty and thinner.

If it doesn't go like this,..if she npbecomes lethargic and sits low in the cage and has her eyes closed during the day, post on here again and get her to a vet ASAP before she gets too weak to be helped. I'm hoping this won't be necessary.
