What do you mean by this? If your terrarium is made to suit your lizards' needs, it should have living plants, branches, twigs and optimal temperature and humidity. The substrate should be such that it can keep humidity and support the plants (unless you have them in pots), e.g. peat with sand and some soil. Under such conditions, female finds the best place to lay the egg, usually close to some vertical structure in the tank, like bark on the wall, stone or branch. It is good to have some peat moss on the substrate, it keeps humidity and females like it as the substrate for eggs. If your tank is sterile enclosure with plastic plants and bare floor, you must put in there plastic box with vermiculite or peat moss and the female will be forced to lay the egg into it.
