Lindsay-



If she is digging and not laying, I would suspect that the soil is not to her liking. From your posts it sounds like it may be to wet. There was an EZine article on this topic of the "Nesting Site". If you have not read it click HERE.



My personal setup is a 2'x2'x4' cage (outdoor cage) with a 10-18 gallon Rubbermaid tub with the handles cut off. The tub will fill most of the bottom of the cage. There is a HUGE pothos plant that hands in the cage over the tub, and fill the whole cage. The soil I use is one of two, Supper Soil or Earthgro potting soil. I DO NOT wet the soil in any way. The mix is just perfect right out of the bag. I make a new tub of soil for every clutch, I use the soil up fast for other things. The soil is packed down well and is about 10-12" deep. My WC female has laid 3 clutches with this setup and the WC are the picky ones!



If your female is digging holes but not laying, she is not happy with the soil. Hope this helps!
