Hi Missy, if you have them together be sure to separate the male in to his own enclosure. She will be very stressed if kept with him.

Here is how to set up the eggs....I used to have vermiculite dampened with enough water to hold it's shape when squeezed but not have excess water dribble out. I mixed sand with it at times, that works too. These are in a plastic shoe box with holes in the lid. You can use smaller tubs as well that hold 6-8 eggs eacg if you prefer. The substrate should be about 3" deep.

And yes, always have a laybox on hand, you can keep the same one to use through the year as long as it's clean. Just add warm water to dampen the soil/sand when she needs to lay eggs again. Be sure to give her a warm bath for a chance to drink, then put her right back in her warm tank.

Can you post pics of her, also how your eggs are set up including close ups ? Here's how :

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
