There is a few sites about breeding! I would read them thouroughly several times just to make sure you don't miss anything. I would also possibly pick up a book. Good luck!

I'd say if they were locked up then the chances of her being gravid is about 95%. A pair of mine mated last year with absolutely no cooling period done by me. They did it in late summer too. I would seperate her in a few days and start feeding her more. She should lay in about a month so at week three give her a box or something to lay in. I couldn't tell by looking at my female that she was gravid even right before she laid. Its fairly common for them to mate without brumation. Makes it so much easier for us!

How do I take care of the eggs if she does lay, was precautions are there and what do I need?

Those may help.....
But you could just get a cardboard box and put vermucilite in it and there is your laying box. Now removing eggs i am sure it's probably just like beardies and leos. You have to take them the way they are laid and place into the incubator.

Good luck and hope all goes well for you. Make sure you keep us posted!

Their eggs are very hardy so don't stress too much. Just make sure not to keep them too moist.
