She has been really hissy for the past 2 days. She wont let me take her out of her cage and she has been kinda dark.
Is my Veiled ready for her first infertile clutch?

From a previous thread you posted.......
Signs that your veiled female might be gravid...getting wider in the back half of the body, drinking more as she gets closer to laying the eggs, roams the cage, has mustard spots with bright blue dots and gets a dark background color at times. As she gets near the time to dig, she may slow down or stop eating...but then she might not too.
As she is almost ready to lay the eggs, she will dig in an egglaying container (I hope) you provide for her. She may dig several test holes but should settle on one and dig it until she's satisfied with it. She should then turn around, bum down and lay her eggs....likely in the evening. She should fill in the hole, tamp it down and return to the branches.ITS IMPORTANT NOT TO LET HER SEE YOU WATCHING HER WHEN SHE IS DIGGING.
If she passes the time when she should lay the eggs for some reason, she will become lethargic, likely sit low in the cage, may dig a hole and fill it in without laying her eggs, go down hill and eventually die if nothing is done.
