I have two red foots. they are both 4 years old. I was wondering when I need to worry about my female needing to lay eggs.

also, lately i have been noticing both of them appear to be quite dry. the shells seem to be dry expecially between the spots. and the beautiful red scales that used to cover thier front legs seem to be drying up or falling off.

i give them menditory baths once a week even though they dont seem to like it. and I try to keep humidity high but it doesnt seem to help.

any suggestions?
