I have a female veiled that is just over 1 year old. I bred her with my male approximately 3 weeks ago. I realize it usually takes longer than that for her to lay her eggs, but as this is my first time, I'm a bit worried. She has a laying bin in her enclosure that is 18 x 12 x 12 filled with damp playsand. She started digging about 1.5 weeks ago. She did some scratching around at first and made a few small holes and one time she dug a hole right to the bottom of the bin, but she did not fill the hole in or lay any eggs. I filled all the holes back in (not sure if that was wrong to do). She dug around a bit again two days ago, but again, no eggs. She is very fat and I think I can see the outline of eggs in her abdomen.
Her colors are still quite bright. She spends quite a bit of time wandering the bottom of her enclosure. She is still eating and drinking well. She is left alone all day while I'm at work.
My question is, is her behavior normal? Do the generally dig around like that without laying and roam around on the bottom of the enclosure for so long before actually laying their eggs?
I'm getting worried about her. Any insight would be welcome!
