YAHOOOOO! She's Digging, She's Digging.

Dali is digging the deepest hole I have ever seen!
I didn't want to get too close and disturb her but I could hear scraping at the bottom of the sterilite tub and it's pretty deep!
I guess Salvador finally figured things out and got the job done.
I hope they are fertile because he is a very old guy.
The female is over a year old so I hope her first clutch is good!
Keep your fingers crossed that everythig comes out OK (literally)
I am so nervous I am pacing!

CONGRATS!!! CALM DOWN though!!! LOL. Everything sounds great. Try to resist the urge to peek in there since it can make her stop digging and if she's going full force like you say, she'll probably (90 percent) lay tonight. I would leave her light on until she does, since turning it off (or disturbing her) could break her pattern and desire to lay those suckers. They do dig pretty deep, mine normally are around 10-12 inches, which ends up being the bottom of the pail. Let her finish filling her hole and go back to her perch or leave the area before taking her out. GOOD LUCK!!!
