Hi all! I will attach all the info below.. there is no huge issue I’m super concerned about, but want to double check with experts to make sure this is normal! This is my girls 3rd clutch, and she started digging yesterday. She stopped around night time and went up on a branch to sleep. This morning she went down again and started digging, I left her alone all day (I know they need privacy!). I checked in and she’s up basking, and she was digging in a completely different spot. Tomorrow will presumably be the 3rd day digging, is that ok? I know they have to make the PERFECT hole before they lay but just want to make sure this it normal and nothing to worry about- TIA!!!!

I see her drinking soemtimes however I know they don’t like to be watched so I try my best not to be near her when it’s misting

- History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you. I have never taken her to the vet, because she hates to be handled and I have yet to master her feeling comfortable enough to come out of the cage with me. I rarely If ever handle her.
