Pleas pay attention to nesting conditions, your options are way to wet for normal nesting behaviour, I am not saying this to be mean. I took this photo yesterday, my nesting is a lot more dry then yours, still 98% hydrated but not wet.

Lizards do not nest in wet substrate, they drop eggs in these condition but do not nest in them, theirs a big difference here.

They know when conditions are right, as I said before, in good conditions females often nest before we even notice they are gravid.

Such dramatic condition as seen on my photo, should never happen with captive raised females, hopefully better options will prevent this to happen again.

ps. Marcia is right about sperm retention.
