One year I had a female very active looking for a place to lay her eggs and it went on for 5 days, so I started getting worried. Her lay box was in there that she always used, but wasn't interested this time. I then replaced the substrate with a mixture of vermiculite and sphagnum moss that I was using to hatch the eggs. It was about 3" deep and a put a good size piece of roofing tile in there for her to get under and lay the eggs. I also kept her box in there just in case. Well, she continued searching for two more days and finally laid the eggs in the box. Maybe it would have worked out different with a different substrate.
