Lay Bin for Gravid Beardie!

Hello,

I have a female that has follicles, I was told to get children’s play sand put it in a big tote box and add warm-hot water.. form a mound and put her in there with her light over it & just let her go to town. I had a smaller box with sand and it seemed like she did fine, beside laying eggs in it she’d just jump in and out of it lol but I just want to make sure I’m actually able to do this? I just bought 2 bags of play sand so hopefully so, otherwise I’ll have to figure out something else. Thanks for the help!

LAYBOX

Plain topsoil that doesn't have any type of chemicals or fertilizers in it, mixed with sand, etc. Be sure it is at least 10-12 inches deep & that the mix is damp enough to where it will hold up to her making a burrow but not sopping wet to have standing water

Ooops, sorry I never got to this ! You can mix sand + eco earth , mix in enough water so it is easy for her to dig a cave that will hold it's shape. If it starts drying out [ like if she doesn't lay eggs for a week or more ] then you can always add more warm water. How is she doing ? You say she's laid eggs in a smaller box before ? If so is there a reason you want a larger box ?
