When will she lay?

[joprukop22]

My girl is gravid with her second clutch of eggs. She is fat and healthy, of course, and has everything she needs (proper lighting, nesting box with soil mixture....) but she has been digging around for about a week now and I have been able to feel her eggs for a while. My other girl lays pretty quickly. Is this normal and when should I consider it to be "egg-binding"? Also, is it recommended to give gravid females warm baths? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I am wondering where you feel the eggs. The vet told me mine has eggs ( unfertilised). We saw them on the xray. Need to prepare her laybox, but not sure how soon she will lay them. I heard they start pacing back and forth, and you can see the eggs in their belly.

I can feel them in ther lower abdomen and you can see them bulging out when she lays down.

Every female will behave a little different when it comes to laying eggs. Some go right to digging and others have to have every little thing just right before they will lay. You have to just give them time and keep putting her in the lay box. Try different things. Giving them a lukewarm bath is fine. It can sometimes be a little aggravating so hang in there!!

mickeysmomma, you may not be able to feel the eggs if they aren't fertilized
