Other than the egg laying the females are the same as the males. Make a laying bin. There are some good videos on here and you tube on how to make them.

I don't know when she will lay them or when they will come when she gets pregnant

I believe most people leave the laying bin in the cage all the time. I forgot to mention that you need to watch her food intake. If you give her to much food she will produce a larger clutch of eggs which is harder on her and will take time off her life.

So how much do u think I should give her? Ps I feed her six everyday. I read online that they get blue spots when there producing. She is getting blue spots and a little heavier but I don't know if she is actually pregnant yet because it seems to early.

Give her enough to keep her healthy. What do you give her six of?

This is a great blog in general, and this is an article I've read in my very early research stages for the potential of getting a female panther down the road. If your veiled is young, she won't be laying eggs just yet, but best to get a laying bin set up when you can.

She will lay eggs, pregnant or not. Those eggs gotta come out. When she gets heavy and she starts to walk along the bottom of her cage, she is lookin. Watch the video and build a spot for her. Put towels up so she has privacy, make sure she has water dripping and let her take care of it. After she lays them she is going to be dirty, thirsty and hungry. Take care of her. Lots of love.This is a p>c of my cage

Do u think it would be ok if I put a lot of leaves all around the cage instead of towels?? Like the big bush above the pregnancy bin???
