It's been over two weeks since I noticed Alexandra digging around in her egg-laying area. She stopped doing that after a few days. And now she's just sitting around looking fat, though her appetite is way down for the past couple weeks and she's looking less fat by the day.
How long do they typically wait after starting to dig before they lay their eggs? Is it typical for them to dig a little bit, then stop? Whenever I noticed she'd been digging, I sifted through the sand to make sure there weren't any eggs in there, which had the side effect of undoing her digging. Maybe I did that enough times that she got discouraged and gave up?
Or, more likely, I'm just too impatient!
