Ok, simple setup.......large rubber maid, half sand/half soil(no chemicals in it), build up the mix in the rubbermaid on one side so it is anywhere from 8-12" deep sloping down to the bottom of the other side(basically a steep hill with only 1-2" deep on the flat side), with half being flat and half being the hill. Start a hole towards the bottom of the hill going into/down into it. Cover the hill side with half of the containers top. Over the other side put a clip style light facing down into the container giving some heat, I dont measure exactly but just some extra heat in the container to make it comfortable. Leave the female in there and let her be. Do not disturb her.. Put her in a room by her self. I use a dark room in the basement so the only light is the one on the container. YOu can also try at night with a red light to give off heat but still keep it dark. Again, leave her be. I will leave them in there for 24 hours(again regular bulb for during the day and a red heat bulb for at night) and if nothing, put her back in the regular cage for 24 hours, then try again. Chris
