finally Theia the 3-toe laid.. 3 good sized eggs!
all in all it took her about 3 hours..
I have a cooler, critter keeper, aquarium heater and some vermiculite.. only thing I think I'm missing it a thermometer and I'll get one tomorrow
I have 3 questions..
1. can I leave the eggs in with her till the morning
2. what's safe to mark the eggs with so I dont roll them?
and 3. when using the "cooler method" are you supposed to close the lid or keep it open?(cooler method http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=46383,46461 )
Thanks!

If the eggs are not buried, she'll eat them. If they are exposed they will dry out and die.

I've used a felt tip marker and made a small dot, but now what I do is use a pencil and VERY LIGHTLY I put the initial of the mothers name on the top of the egg as my mark. It helps since I have multiple females.
