Good news! Melody's got pink urates. A few days ago, I noticed Melody eating less, pooping little, and passing urates. Today, she passed a large poop with a pink and white urate. I did read that it could be a sign of getting ready to lay.
I don't have a lay box because every plastic bin with a cover's being used for my dog's food and treats. (We had a War with the Rats lately and I got rid of them.) The only bin she's got is her bath bin and that doesn't have a lid so I can't really give her a lay box until I can get a plastic bin with a lid.
By and by, I laid fresh sifted warm water sand in her tank, on the hot side, placed her hide on the sand and buried half of it to make it look like a cavern. I hope she uses it and feels safe enough. Melody's basking on the hot side on her basking logs. She seems okay with the sand.
