k. THanks for all the help, but i'm still unclear.

we dug through the sand and no eggs. if we found them, we don't have an incubator and we've tried with a homemade chicken egg incubator with very limited success. and, we don't want to spend $50 on an egg incubator when we can't run it. it seems the female would find the right place.

the female has buried herself below the sand. about 3" deep. she dug herself out this morning, then buried herself again. she is loosing weight. we offer crickets and she shows a little interest but doesn't finish the chase, that we notice anyhow.

if we decide the time for her to lay eggs is over, and we want to dig out her burrow and look for some (new place where we haven't dug) can i put her w/ the male? my original question is more about her safety. he is very interested in her and i wonder if it is out of wanting to eat her. if we do this, and going by our past history with a home-made incubator, we'll just kill the eggs by taking them out.

either way, is it safe for the female, and even healthy to be with the male? it seems mating season would be over, but maybe he'll not care and be aggressive
