Would like advice on my female panther

[ZEUUS]

She seems to be acting weird lately, and turning darker colors... I've come to the conclusion that she may be egg bound, but she is only 5-6mo old. I got a pot full of organic potting soil and put her in it. Covered the top and put lights on it and left her alone. When I came back she didn't display any signs of digging What do you think?

Here is Lilly

i dont have a female but i think alot of ppl use moist sand that u can make a fist in and it will stay.and firm enough she can dig a tunnel that it wont collapse. read older posts or pm a senior that breeds. or both.

Okay I've heard that,too. I did wet the soil and pat it down so it's nice and tight so that it won't collapse.

She may very well have eggs at 5 months old. I'm attaching my egg laying/laying bin blog for you below. You should find it helpful.

Thanks! Can you tell from the pictures if she might be ready to lay?

She does look a bit fat like she could be carrying eggs.

teenage phase.

It's weird now she looks thin and all adventurous.. Just hope I catch her at the right time so she can lay her eggs. Thanks for all the help!

Keep a laying bin in the cage with her all the time.

I've been looking for one, but can't seem to find one with a decent width and depth.. thinking about putting the plant pot inside her enclosure with wet sand

 

[ZEUUS]

Okay will do asap

a 5gal bucket is fine. thats what i use, fill it halfway and she should dig. i have a female veiled at 1 year old and she is yet to lay.
