I can see the outlines of eggs.

I have placed a big tub in her cage full of moist sand.

I don't need to take her out of the cage and put her just in the container do I?

Thanks,
K

No you do not need to, from what i've found out in my research is that everything you try may or may not work, lol. So I gave mine two choices in laying media, regular sand from home depot (the cheap stuff), and the coco fiber/play sand (the expensive stuff), and needless to say she dug in both but settled with the cheap sand to lay her eggs in. Just make sure she is in a nice isolated area and try to leave her alone as much as possible (i know its hard), keep feeding and watering her as long as she is not digging, and dont let her see you if she is, so take caution when walking over to her.

Just wait till she lays the eggs! I thought I was excited when I found out mine was gravid, then the waiting for her to lay, and then she did lay and I was a thousand times more excited/relieved! Keep us updated!
