strange. My female never eats or drinks while digging/laying. maybe its just an individual thing

It is an individual thing.

well we were both mistaken haha, she pulled a cham move and hid really good haha, what i thought was a hole was just extra dirt she used to cover it up. i cut her light. and ill pull the eggs tomorrow. i just dont have time tonight. is there anything id want to do before i go diggin? take her out or anything

I've always had a spare laybin and just swapped one for the other so she didn't know it was gone.

We got 41! I think thats a average number. How many is a really good number tho? Fed mainly crickets and dubia, moved her down to 3-4 of the variety, sometimes a wax worm. cage stays between 64 @night and 72-74 ambient and 84-89 in the heat. Misting 2x a day just after lights come on, give that morning humidity last longer, then again a 6pm for 2mins min. She gets a humidifier at night. Humidity stays 35-50 in the days (all live plants and soils) and 76-90% at night depending if its a cold day cause the heater in the house is on. 48" 5% uvb 100 watt heat raised with a led for plants. Cage i built, 30x32x4' on a 32" stand its pretty tall.

Basking should be at 80F.
3 or 4 crickets every two or three days.
Make sure your supplements and UVB are right and other husbandry things too.
I like to see them lay 2 dozen or less.

I had a 60w in there and was around 80s but she kept climbin on the ceiling. I changed the bulb and she quit for the most part. She keeps kickin the basking themo off so to get a accurate consistant reading gets tricky. But ok im going to start bringing the feeding down. Her supplements include the reptive reptile vitamins with d3 and normal everyday dusting calcium w/o d3. Thank you for all your help!
