female has only layed one egg - has more inside...won't lay HELP!

Hi - our saharan female is rather large and has been digging for the past several days. Yesterday she dug a tunnel and was in the lay box for hours. She came out last night, but had only layed one egg. She obviously has more inside...but show's no desire to lay....

Any suggestions and/or comments would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to lose her due to being egg bound.

Thanks!

MY female mali did the exact same thing. She laid one egg, which was all shriviled up, and then she laid a clutch of 8 eggs four days later. Now the 8 eggs are in the incubator, hopefully in a month or two i will have 8 little hatchling mali's.
