Is this a joke or actual thing?

I notice her eyes are closed in the first picture there. Is it nearing bedtime? Closing their eyes is a sign of illness or stress.

It was probably just stress because the photo with her eyes closed was taken immediately after taking her out of the cup I purchased her in at the pet store.

They're so finicky. Just make sure that she doesnt have her eyes closed during the day.

And have you read up on lay bins? You know she will lay eggs without being around a male, correct?
Have you posted pics of your enclosure/lighting before or had a husbandry review to make sure you have the correct husbandry info?Oh yeah, she’s awake right now actually and is happily basking under her uvb light

I have actually, this was a topic i was very stressed about at first but in this setup I currently dont have an egg laying bin so if needed i would make one in a large bin for her. But in the setup i plan to have within a year i will have plenty of room to add an egg laying bin in the habitat for her when she needs it

This is the only picture i have saved of the enclosure, it has since become way more humid and moist, this picture was taken before it had ever been misted at all. And some minor things have been shifted around in the terrarium since this was taken. It also has a misting system that mists for 1 minute every 4 hours.
No picture attached... Can you take an updated pic of the cage with the lights please?

So unfortunately you will need to make a lot of changes to the enclosure and plan on a larger enclosure sooner then later.

The only part that needs to be changed is a minimum of 6” laying depth, not 8”
