I put a larger one in her viv last night 12x12 (with a ramp) I was excited this morning she was sitting in it and being really still but by the time I came back through she was basking again. Hopefully soon.
In the meantime I have the incubator up and running, hovabator temp set at 85ish and...
Ok I have a lay box in her cage. Not a very deep one though and i have an external one.. (a large flowerpot with 12 inches of filtered moist playsand in it.
When she is going crazy inside I put her in the external box, but she just trys to jump out (she can jump a lot higher than I expected...
That does help sounds exactly like what she is doing. I will get a bigger out of cage lay box built tonight.
She has been eating like crazy and just running wild inside the viv last night..
I can definitely feel marbles now but she is showing no interest in digging. At what point after I begin to feel the marbles to I get worried if she doesn't start to dig?
It has been a while since i have been active here and I thought I would post some photos of my lizards.

Thank you once again for the info. I went home for lunch and put together a box real quick. May moisten the sand to allow for better burrowing of it.
I will look for the potting soil as well.
I will get some play sand and build a lay box tonight. How long will they typically be gravid prior to wanting to lay the eggs? Also on the pedialyte/mineral/vites how are you getting that to them... do they drink it?
Thanks again I do plan to hatch the eggs, My intention has been to breed...
Thanks for the reply. She has been with a male, they were housed together for a long time. When i pick her up her belly feels different than my male dragon (Draco, around 2 years old now.) but it is not hard like she needs to Poo.
I have sphagnum moss for my Leopard Geckos could I use that...
I picked up a new Dragon tonight. Possibly Gravid, but none of my other females are old enough yet. This one came from a friend that is moving to a new apartment that doesn't allow any pet (not even fish.)
She is 14-16 months old. He stated that she just started "fattening up" in the last...
I usually feed my babies more phoenix worms until they get a bit bigger then some crix.
I feed the bigger ones phoenix worms as well, they also seem to help with keeping infections down.
Also they love to eat collard greens, butterworms, and supers.
It really depends on the gecko species.
geckos tend to be smaller than Beardies, most are nocturnal meaning no special uvb light. They have different eating habits and heating requirements as well.
With the exception of leopard geckos most geckos are arboreal meaning a tall rather than long...
