My other female hasn't layed her eggs

[marcsman16]

Hello

So yesterday in the morning Lluvia strated to dig in her laying bin, I covered the cage with a white towel and left her till afternoon.
When I came home she was basking and ther was a hole in her laying bin, but she kept looking as fat as before so that meant she hadn't lay the eggs yet.
So the next day (today) started digging again, she dug another 2 holes, but nothing, she's still with those eggs in her belly.
Should I be worried?
The substrate I used for the laying bin is a mix o play sand and vermicompost soil.

They do dig test holes sometimes. Make sure to give her complete privacy or you could cause her to abandon the hole and she can become egg bound.

Now she has been digging the same hole, she digs, then she goes to her basking spot, she dig and so on.
Do you think the soil is too hard for her?

Your the only one that can answer that with any certainty but unless you packed the soil down I doubt it.

Chams are not designed to dig so it takes a lot of effort, especially when gravid! Privacy and patients!

How long can she takes to lay them?

Less than 24hrs after she actually starts laying them.

Update:
She keeps trying to escape out of the cage.
Any thoughts?
Should I put her in anothrr cage with another bin?

Normal behavior but post pics of everything so we can review it...

She covered the hole
Should I look if there's any eggs?
I'm still thinkin about the soil it has some little rocks in it maybe that's the problem? Because it can hold a tunnel perfectly.
Here are some pics.

Also she keeps looking pretty fat.

That’s not what I asked for, step back and take a pic that shows the whole viv.

What are the dementions of the bin?

The bin is 9in tall and 7in wide

The bin is 9in tall and 7in wide

That’s part of your problem, bin is way too small. 12”x12”x12” is bare minimum, use only moist playsand.

 

[marcsman16]

I have a bigger bin now (16"X12"X12")
And here are some pictures of the whole viv.
