How can I tell if a female is carrying eggs? or getting ready to lay them?

She'll look real heavy on the bottom half of her body. If their fertile and sometimes when their not you can often see the outlines of the eggs under her skin. She will eat a lot prior but then pretty much stop eating completely when she is ready to lay them. Then she will dig all over the cage looking for a suitable nest spot. Another reason I like sand. At this point you'll need to give her a nest box to lay them in.

I use vermucilite as my laying box substrate! Sand can tend to not hold humidity sufficiently, from what i have heard. I don't use or reccomend sand for anything. It's up to the individual though.
