female veild cham, about to lay?

[fecomosis]

my female veild cham is on the dirt now, and of course has eggs inside, but i saw her wave her hand as if she was digging..? and every now and then actually move some dirt, maybe one or two times then stops..? whats this mean?

Has your female been weak or ill? What kind of a laying bin do you have for her? How deep is it? Once they start digging they need complete privacy or they can abandon their hole and become egg bound. I'm attaching a few links for you below about egg laying and the laying bin.

I have not noticed being weak or , ill. I wouldn't know.. As for laying bins, I am recreating its natural environment, my cage has a coconut based substrate.
