She's never been mated but has seen my male and didn't want anything to do with him.

She is about 10-11 months old.

Here are the pics, she is somewhat dark, earlier when I fed her she ate 1/2 of what she normally eats and drank alot as usual, she is not going to the ground or digging up does move around quite a bit, I will put a lay bin in either way but I just want some opinions.



 
I would say that is more of a receptive colouration but could be gravid colours. See what happens when the laying bin is in, maybe she will lay.
 
She does look abit plump. she very well could be cooking some eggs.

if you jsut put in your lay bin and keep it moist, then if she is gravid, shell take care of the job.
 
Doesn't look gravid to me. However, she is in a fairly small exo terra with very few branches or foliage and a substrate. All things I try and avoid in my husbandry imo

If she isn't gravid and you just throw her in a lay bin all it will do is stress her. From my experience if you provide a well set up lay bin all the time with a plant or two growing out of it they will take care of what they need to when they need to and you no longer have to guess at stages of nature.

I know it's a small enclosure I am getting her a bigger one soon, not a lot of plants either I know. Long story short she used to be in a bigger enclosure with a lot more. Let's just say one of my "pets" decided to eat a hole in the bottom of it one day and ruined it
