Hi again, I've just noticed a post lower down from mine called (is she gravid)can't belive I've only just seen it lol. Any way that looks like a very similar situation, and looking at that makes me think she must not be far away from laying? What I want to do in this message is show you here set up and show you here laying areas, and if you think I can do anything else to set it up better for laying please let me know. As you can see there is a burrow on the warm side and a slab/rock placed on two smaller rocks so that it won't fall on her if she digs under, there is about 2-3 inch of soil under the slab (I used sterilised top soil from a garden centre, but also microwaved it all to make extra sure it was sterile)from what the other post said should I put some sand under there? or will the soil be fine but should I mist it with warm water? Here are the temps in the viv using a temp gun, warm side reads 91 cool side reads 80 the basking spot is reading 95.5 at the moment but she had only just moved off it and it has read 116 before, under the rock reads 77 and in the burrow reads 78.5. Does that sound ok and should I perhaps also dampen inside the burrow? oh also she has been digging a fair bit since the night I braught her home so I guess by the sounds of it that is anouther sighn?. Also just one last thing, my habistat thermostat has a night time drop on it, I have been using it to drop the temp by about 10 degrees on a night should I still do this at this time or should I not do that until she has laid?

Thanks for your help.

Martin
