One egg?....!!!

A few months back my veiled laid 72 eggs!!! It took her two whole days to dig, lay and re-cover the hole. I can't even comprehend how 72 eggs fit inside her. It took her about 2 days before she started eating and drinking again... waxworms got her eating... she loves them! Anyways... I know she was getting close to maybe laying eggs again because she has started to get a little chunky and I catch her walking around the bottom of her cage every now and then. I have dirt in there at all times, as her cage is fairly large. I know she knows its in there because she walks in it from time to time. Today when I came home there was one single egg at the bottom of her cage. ???? can anyone explain this? should I be worried? She is still eating and sleeping. I moved the dirt today to the other side to maybe interest her in it... I covered the front of her cage so she cant see us. I'm hoping all is ok, it's just so weird. Makes me think about that show, I didnt know i was pregnant... ha ha.. but seriously, can anyone help? Thanks a million!!:confused:
 
Was she mated?

It could be an infertile egg left behind...or maybe there are more. Keep an eye on her and if she starts to show "negative" signs get her to the vets right away...or take her and have an xray done.
