LMAO seriously, make sure her crickets are dusted with calcium, make a nest for her in the tank, either a box with hole cut into side so she can get in and out, or the brick method, place bricks in an L shape in a corner of tank and cover top with piece of slate or flat rock for her privacy, keep 3-4 inches of dampenmed, not soaked, sand in there for her. (make sure there is an opening somewhere in the L shaped brick nest for her to enter, :0) Don't know how gravid she is so can't tell you when, but it usually takes appro. 3-4 weeks after breeding to lay. Also you will notice a DECREASE in appetite sometimes a week to a few days prior to laying and alot of digging. Well if you can think of anymore questions just ask, somebody will answer. Lots of luck and definitely keep us posted and congratulations on the new girl !
