What should I do?

I sure hope this is the last question I have about my gravid females. I put one in the laying bin today (29 days) and went out for the day. Got home around 7 pm and found her sleeping in the dirt, over the hole I poked to give her the idea. Why would she be sleeping in the dirt and not up on the plant that is in there? I can't tell if she used the hole without removing her from the bin.

What would be the best idea? If she did lay her eggs I would want to remove them, if not, I hate to disturb her, but being how the ground is a bit damp I don't want her to get sick.

Please help!
 
If shes alseep and its dark down in there i'd leave her until morning. The eggs will be fine there overnight. If the laying medium of yours is of the correct moisture content, she shouldnt have a problem getting sick becuase many times if the female is digging and it gets dark, theyll just sleep down there overnight. If she were mine i would just leave her and see whats up in the morning.
