OK so now is my time to ask for help (i feel like a retard as ive been doing his for years) but maybe someone has had this same issue

female ambilobe second clutch of inferties

have egg laying bin (i use 5 gallon bucket with a mesured 12 inches of playsand, washed out and semi dried, can still borrow without it cavingin)

the right temps (about 78 ambient latley, real hot for sandieo in my house)

i put her in at morning and will wait(no contact) nothing for about 4 hours, so i place her in the tree, offer her food or water..then have tried all day, just toward the night, just morning..wth

she has them, she has been a large size for a month now..usually about three weeks(when i notice the weight gain) i wait a week after then put them in the laying bin..maybe an houtr later they dig...she's just not digging this time..ive tried dirt, play sand, and a mix of both..nothing is stimulating her..im starting to get worried of egg binding..

masters, please help (dont act like you dont know who your are..for instance jann and carol, lol..others not mentioned too!)

Try putting her in the bin in the late afternoon or early evening. The girls here usually don't dig and lay until evening. Also she just might not be ready. Is she still eating and drinking and looking healthy? Is so just give her a little more time. At the first sign of a health issue (like mentioned above) get her to the vets.

ok thats what i figured..( and yes, late eveining is usually when they dig..i have her there now..no contact)..she has slowed down on eating..but never quits(she slowed last time, so i tried and it worked, maybe this time shes more into it and will stop alltogether the week shes ready..??)

anyway your responce has made me feel at ease for now..i went over your whole bloggy you made about egg laying and bins, just to double check..and i think i may get a large trash can on wheels..what color did you get??

your the best! thanks jann!

thank you...with this forum (the help of you and people alike) i will have no issues..i think i just get worried because i read about soo many crasy things on here, then i get all worried about my husbandry (that has been working since i learned most at 13, im 30 now..)

anyway thanks again!!!!!!
