You have a girl? Looks like she’s digging, probably to lay eggs. Carefully cover the visible areas of her enclosure and let her do her thing. Don’t disturb her unless your house is on fire.

 

[Carloscruz]

ok I am out the room but it looks like she stuck in the pictures

She is digging a tunnel to lay eggs.... Can you tell if the tunnel collapsed or is she still digging? When she is ready to lay she will come out and back into it keeping her head out the top.

 

[Carloscruz]

So I walked in the room and now she’s like sitting in the tunnel so I assume she’s laying them.

If she is sitting with her head out of the tunnel and her bottom in the tunnel then she is laying them. She will cover them with dirt when she is done. and come back onto the branches. When she has covered them up and come up you will want to give her a good misting so she can drink and give her a few feeders with the calcium without D3 supplement. Tomorrow you can pull the plant and remove the eggs. You will want to count them to see how many there are. Post here the total she ends up laying.

Ok thanks

Exciting and stressful all at the same time!

 

[Carloscruz]

It is

 

[kinyonga]

Just don't disturb her or let her see you watching her.

 

[Carloscruz]

Ok

 

[Carloscruz]

She still laying them should I be worried

 

[Lindasjackson]

No, just leave her be. She may even spend the night in her tunnel. It’s ok.

 

[Carloscruz]

Ok

It’s a process that takes longer than we think. You’ll know she’s done when she’s back on a branch basking and looking much thinner. She’ll also have carefully covered all of the tunnels she dug. Hydrate her well and feed her very well for 2-3 days after. I love silkworms and hornworms for after laying. Then you’ll want to start her on 3-4 feeders, 3 days a week (plus treats) and keep basking temps no higher than 80 to help reduce her egg production. Do let us know how she’s doing and how many eggs she’s laid.

 

[Carloscruz]

She is done thanks for the help

 

[MissSkittles]

Do you have a lay bin for her and she just chose to use the plant instead?

 

[Carloscruz]

I didn’t have it ready yet because I thought she wasn’t going to lay this soon

Did she fill the hole in and tamp it down and return to the branches? Can you post a couple of photos of her since she laid the eggs please.

Did you count the eggs? It's important to know so we can tell you what to do in the future regarding egg production.
