Congrats!!!
I caught a girl hanging out at the bottom last night too. But no digging yet.

Thanks Wayne.
I'm really figuring this all out by trial and error
I originally made an enclosure similar to what Steve used I think. I had areas in the bottom with sand, sand and peat, peat and some other organic soil. She showed no interest in digging in any of it.
I have been moving the Parsons outside during the day to get heavy watering as they all seen very thirsty lately. I moved Pickle into a smaller 2x2x4 cage with a ficus tree in and she attempted to dig in the pot, so I figured she was ready to lay. I moved her back into the bigger enclosure and she wouldn't dig again. She did drop one egg on the ground which made me think she did lay but I found no other eggs.
She ended up laying in some Kelloggs Enrich soil. She laid in a tight spot behind the tree. she had a hard time digging and laid her eggs pretty shallow.I definitely need to work on the bin thing.
Wow Craig, thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed explanation with pictures! I don't expect to nearly have the same success as you guys, but just in case if it were happen to me in the future, I want to be ready. Thanks again and cheers to 2014!

It was Pickle that laid. Great to here she did lay her eggs. Good luck incubating the eggs and a happy new year!

Contrats Craig! One down, two to go! Now the waiting begins.
I've had really good luck with setting them up in the shower to lay. One big stick that goes down into a bucket with sand so there's no confusion on where they should dig. You can also water them like crazy in there.
It does helps if you have a spare bathroom though

Sounds like a good way to do it Garrett. Thanks for sharing info with me. I appreciate it.

Well female number 2 Pringle laid 34 eggs last night. Might have one more gravid girl to go.

Holy moly! Contrats Craig!
What did you end up using for an incubator?
Thanks Garrett. I'm using the exo terra. Fingers crossed.
Might need a third one soon.

I'm pretty much doing what Andreas has posted in his thread with most of the eggs.
