I wouldn't disrupt her until she is done laying and covering her eggs, then it will be OK.

You should leave them on until she lays. Watch closely (without being seen by her) if you can. Make sure to take care of the female first as soon as she finishes covering the eggs. Give her a warm shower (rinse all the sand off her face and body), and see if she's willing to drink. Place her back in her enclosure, and immediately take care of the eggs.

Good luck!

I'm so glad she laid! How many was it? Take care of her and her eggs and keep us updated.

Believe it or not she is still at it.
(2:30pm)
I left the light on last night.
I wonder if she did stop and take a break.
I kinda hope so if not the poor thing has been at it since yesterday afternoon.

I will email with the count once she is done

Love
