Hi, Thanks for such an interesting and informative reply. You've given me a lot of food for thought, I did check every where in the viv for any eggs and I still can't find any any where. Also this morning she does seem to look bigger again, so as you said the eggs may still be inside her as I thought I could see some slight bulges, so I have switched the incubator back on as at the moment I'm really unsure as to if she is still gravid or not. You mentioned no fecal elimination for up to a week, but this was only from when I first got her, and now she does go pretty much every day so that is great and I'm sure I can keep it that way, which brings me back to my theorie that she may have been showing more because there was some feacal build up inside her and that may have made her look bigger and the eggs more pronounced, and now she is deficating every day she could have passed any build up and that may be why she appears smaller and the eggs far less pronounced. You also mentioned about putting a rock on the substrate, well it is supported by a smaller rock under ither end to suport it, and I always make sure that any rocks or anything are actually touching the floor of the viv and that the substrate is placed around this to make sure they can't collapse. Any how thanks again, all what you said does give me hope that she may still lay some eggs, so I'll let you know what happens, fingers crossed lol.
Cheers
Martin
