Veiled's are really picky when it comes to laying their eggs. My veiled just laid her first clutch and it took her from 9am Wednesday morning - 4am Thursday morning to make her hole perfect so she could lay her eggs. I didn't even put a climbing stick in her lay box because she kept climbing out but once she realized that she could dig in the sand, she was digging for nearly 17 hours. You'll know when she's done after she covers her eggs with the sand. She be kind of roaming around on the too of the sand when she's done. When she is done just make sure you have a liquid calcium on hand. I recommend calcionate syrup. I got it at my exotic vet for about $20. Give .15cc of that to her twice a day for at least a few weeks to replace all the calcium she lost laying her eggs. Continue normal diet/ supplementation/ husbandry. Also make sure to mist her and make sure she's hydrated. Also try feeding her right after. I hope this helps! I'm new to the whole eggaying thing too.

Thank you very much!
I think the vet will give her oxytocin, although I like to leave the animals do their job by themself...
She is going to be in the big bin and I'll leave her! Yes, it is going to be hard, but I'll leave her.
I hope she is going to be fine!
And how do I know she is done with laying???

That's just it: she covered the hole she digged after she layed 11 eggs. But she had still about 20 inside of her...I gave her calcium and worms and showers.
Well she is gone now. But I'm very glad yours made it!
Thank you!
