don't bother her... leave her in the dark... if she was covered (with the substrate in the lay box) put it back... she needs to feel secure.
if you keep disturbing her she'll leave the lay box and you'll risk losing all the other eggs she's carrying and you may even losing her if she becomes egg bound.
so just leave her & let her do her thing

am leaving her alone i haven't touched her or the eggs or the tank or the light or the substraight or anything of that nature im sure you know what you are doing. ive seen many of your successful posts. and as far as the laying aspect i already know all of that she is safe secure and completely un tampered with in any way. i would appreciate help with the incubation please
forgive me if im wrong but your post seems very bossy rude
and unhelpful thankyou for your time though

Ok... my apologies if i came across as rude or bossy... i dislike when people bother laying females because they run the risk of losing their eggs/female if the female decides it's unsafe and leaves the box.
Incubation is pretty easy, i don't use any of the mediums you have so i can't say which way is best to prep them. 82 degree temps are ok but you can incubate at room temperature if you like, babies are usually bigger when incubated at room temperature BUT eggs will take longer to hatch.
