when will she POP

[atonal]

hey guys,

so a female of mine has been noticeably pregnant for over a month nowand probably way before that, i could have sworn she would have laid 3 weeks ago and still nothing, she doesnt eat as much anymore but still takes teh occasional greens or dubia. is she ok and is there any way of knowing when she is ready o rinducing labor? lol....75 percent her 40 gallon breeder is blocked off with bricks and filled with sand and soil mixture about a foot high with a corner sloping down.. am i doing something wrong? i keep re-wetting the sand when it dries up just in case. Thanks for the help!!

first off can you feel the eggs well in her lower abdomen? and 2nd is she digging a lot in the sand or just laying around?

Hey , thanks for replying, and yes i've been able to feel her eggs for almost a month now or more, but she hasn't been digging and just lays around, she has substantially stopped eating though, occasionaly biting a green or a dubia.

sometimes soaking my female in warm water for a few mins gets her in the mood to start digging again and lay...try this and hope that it helps...if not then I would start to think about a vet visit to make sure shes not egg bound
good luck

Thanks for the advice, i have soaked her 3 times already, i will try it a few times again and i am going to change the lay box and use soil instead of sand , she hasnt started digging at all, i am going to soak her and massage her a lil but if all else fails by this weekend i will take her to the Vet.

Thanks!!
