no eggs

hi all
I seem to be having difficulty getting eggs from my females. Mating has occured, the females are housed alone, they seem to be carrying eggs, but somehow they are not laying. I am sure something's gone wrong as already at least 60 days have passed since mating.
They have:
-a temperature gradient of 26 to 32 degrees celcius assured by undertank heating cables,
-a large (probably about 1/4 of the enclosure base) humid hidebox (also with a small gradient) with some 2 inches of moist vermiculite in it.
The bedding is cocunut soil. The females are receiving calcium daily as recommended by my vet.
Any ideas? I am starting to get worried about eggbinding

My advice would be to up the humidity through spraying, etc. Did you do any sort of cooling? While I'm not sure of any one trigger with my guys, I've never got eggs without some sort of cycleing. Follicles are visible, but no eggs.

I know other people have said they just get eggs, but I've never had that luck.
