Egg Bound?

[kailynkoenitzer]

Hey everyone! So my 11-month-old female veiled has been laying random eggs around for a few days. I would say she's laid about 5 total. I put her egg laying bin in her cage, and she was digging in it all morning, and had backed into it, so I assumed she was laying the rest of her eggs. When I came back this evening, she was up near the top of her cage, coated in sand, and her coloring was extremely dark (almost black). I rinsed her off and she was very active and seemed to be feeling well. I looked in her egg laying bin, but couldn't find any eggs at all. Could this mean she is trying to lay her eggs and she can't? Could she be egg bound? I can't feel any eggs in her, so I'm not sure if she has any left or not. Thanks for your help!

If she don't look like she is still gravid I would keep digging for them my guess is they are there you just haven't found them. They might be in an entirely different place than you think she put them look for a place that looks recently covered.

Check the whole bucket, if she covered back up her whole then she most likely laid them somewhere in the bin.
