She did not dig at all that I could see, and a suitable container with sand substrate has always been available.
I gutload the insects with Fluker's cricket feed, and greens from time to time (not spinach), sometimes pieces of fruit. The cricket are regularly dusted with calcium. The daytime basking temp has been 85-90 degrees. The basking bulb is 150 watts and she has a UV light bar on during the day. I keep lights off at night, unless it is a cold winter night as I do live in a cold part of the country. The room she is in does not get below 70 degrees at night. I mist her enclosure 3 to 4 times a day; she has a drip system for drinking, plus a fogger and a small fountain for humidity. Her enclosure is in a bedroom (quiet all the time except perhaps one hour in the morning and two hours in the evening).
Thank you for your reply. Is it possible that the eggs get too large for her to pass? She was inactive for a few weeks before i took her to the vet.
