if you are keeping her indoors, it's difficult to say what will happen with a gravid female. Females that stress are LESS likely to lay, not more likely. If you have to keep her indoors, and you can palpate her and verify she is gravid, I'd put together a large bin of deep sand/soil mix compacted as hard as you can and moistened. Put her in it in the afternoon and move her back to her home in the morning. Check her for eggs daily and you'll know when she's dropped. If she's not too stressed she might nest normaly in the bin, leaving you to dig through the whole thing to find them, but leaving her healthy. If she's too stressed she'll likely drop them one at a time over a while, possibly eat them or lay them in water dishes.
