Digging but no eggs??

My girl I belive is FINALLY gravid (not positive). My question is why has she not layed her eggs?? She's been rooting around in the plants for a while now, I keep finding dirt flung everywhere in her cage. But have yet to find any eggs buried. So what's up with her??

Be patient, my females do the same thing a couple of days before they lay.

My females will spend two nights perfecting a tunnel, on the third night they usually lay. I got eggs last night!

my female is the same way, within a few days of egg laying, she will dig and make a mess. Good Luck!

Country:
It seems that a few days of test-hole digging is normal. All of my girls practise for 3 or 4 days. They dig holes, cover them up, try somewhere else until they find the spot that's just right.

.... mind you, even after all that practise, not all of them get the actual laying technique figured out....



This girl always buries her head, leaving her backside exposed while laying the eggs. Don't be alarmed if you find your female buried head first in the dirt for a few hours, she's just getting close to actually laying the eggs.

Also how big are the eggs compared to leo eggs?? My girl has been digging in the same spot the whole time?? It's always the exact same spot.
