Help me please :(

so glady's started digging on the bottom of her cage, so I got her a laying box, and she dug in there for a while, but she didn't lay her eggs. Then I got her a bigger bin and she's been digging a little, but mostly she's just been sitting in it. She'll dig a hole and then it's like she gives up. Today I noticed her eyes were closed and she's a funny color. Her horn actully seems kind of soft too and I'm really worried. She's not eating as much again, too. She did drink some water, but at the end she shook her head away from me. That worries me because when she's done she useally hisses at me but she didn't. Could she be egg bound? Why does she keep digging but not lay her eggs?
She is about a year old.
Veild
The bin she's in is about 14 in tall and 7 in wide. It's like a bucket shape. It's filled with organic soil that I've been making wet.
A few days ago I put her and the whole bin in the shower with the water hitting the side of the shower so she can get more humidity.
Also, digging so much has really messed up her schedule.
I keep the bucket in her terrium, should I put her in another bigger bin outside her cage??
She has a basking bulb and a uvb. I feed her crickets that I gut load with fluckers and dust with vt D and once or twice a month I do D3.

I would love to help you but I am not to familiar with females and their egg laying (since I have only had males) you probably should bring her into a vet if she still can't lay them. How long has this been going on for?

I would get her to a vet ASAP....sounds like she's in trouble and I just hope it's not too late.
In the meantime...Please post a recent photo.

Have you let her see you watching her while she's digging?

I'll post a picture of her and everything else when I get home from work. She has seen me once or twice bc her cage is in my room and it is a small room. but she keeps digging.

You say she's in trouble, but with what? Could she be egg bound?? Or maybe she's over exsausted herself. These are my worries. Her schedule has been so out of sort bc she'll dig and then sleep and then dig and then sleep at random points in the day

I believe that @kinyonga is talking about your cham being egg bound. Which is very bad.

Oh god I've been freaking out about this happening ever since I decided to get a female!! Is there any way to tell it to treat it???

You need a vet. I am not sure but I believe the only way to fix being egg bound is surgery, but I do not know that for sure.

Did you disturb her when she was digging???
You said the digging messes up her schedule...how?

Take her to the vet if you get there in time they can try to induce her labor. One thing I would like to suggest though if you get her to try to lay again it is very important that you give her privacy, and not disturb her. It sounds like from how you explained it that maybe you were just a little too much in her face. Just dig her a few holes put up a blanket or something of that sort, and let nature take it's place. However seeing how it's been 2.5 weeks I would take her to a vet to try to get things moving, or what ever he or she decides is best. Good luck.
