She is only about 10 months old and laid about 18 eggs. I forget what is was called but it's that bedding that comes in that compressed brick that you just add water to it and it expands into wet dirt/mossy like bedding. You can get vermicile from a nursery also and use that.
You will know if she is gravid or not if she start digging all over the enclosure even if you have carpet or tile down on the bottom. They will digging constantly. Sometimes you can even see and feel round bumps in the belly too. Then just stick a dish tub type of container with the damp warm bedding in there and she should right away......sometimes. I put mine in there and she laid within a half hour. I don't think ALL females will produce eggs without a mate but I could be mistaken.
They say BD's are mature to have babies at a year and a half old but from what I have been told by a few different breeders, they can be a little younger and depends on their size. Some mature faster than others.
Good Luck......JD
