Hey Jeff, I do have pictures, but I will have to dig them up when I get home. I have always used a seperate container(large rubbermaid) for egg laying. Soil/sand mix built up like a hill on one side, start a tunnel down into it. On the other side a clip lamp with some heat directed down into the tub. Always worked well for me.
