Her nesting container is what she felt the most comfortable in. I tried 3 different size and shapes of Rubbermaid storage containers, and this is the one she spend hours and hours of time in. And it's filled full with moist sphagnum moss currently.



I had switched her nesting material from vermiculite to the moss, because she compacted the vermiculite down so much. It wasn't much of a nesting material, just more or less a wet floor. She doesn't seem to like the moss as much for some reason or another. I'll set up another container with the vermiculite like her previous laying container, and see if that's what she is wanting.



Here are pictures of her through out all stages of her gestation:



Picture taken before pre-lay shed, I'm guessing around the time of ovulation. She is quite swelled up.





Picture taken after her shed on May 26th, she isn't as visibly swelled up, hence why I didn't think she was gravid.





Pictures taken tonight. See what I'm saying about how she doesn't look gravid like pictures I've seen. I'm guessing its because she isn't carrying over 12 eggs, and they're all in a straightline down her body. You can still see skin between scales even when she's just sitting there, and not bent.















Thanks for the help you've given me. I think at this point she'll lay eggs, whether or not they'll be fertile I haven't the foggiest.
