She's too small for this!

My girls go off their food close to laying. Yours looks really close, I'd say within the week. You could soak her in warm water. It's always super scary as gecko moms to watch and wait for them to pop. I'd limit her handling, if you're doing it at all aside from photo-ops. The less stress, the better.

Thanks for the encouragement. Most females go off feed before laying, so I figured her time was close. She isn't digging yet...

I don't handle her any more than necessary :)

she's discovered that she can crawl under her lay box. I swear, if she lays her eggs UNDER it I'm gonna be so ticked lol.

Well, she hasn't laid yet. Should I be worried? I started to see the eggs mid-January. As far as I can tell this is still the same clutch. She just hasn't laid them. My sister says "she looks sick, or tired" and isn't eating. Hasn't eaten in weeks. Her tail is "as thin as my pinky" I won't be home for another two weeks to check on her...

I asked my sister to start giving her warm baths nightly. Anything else we can do?

If anyone's gone through this with a really small female, or even one who stubbornly wouldn't lay, feel free to PM me with advice

One of my girls laid at a really low weight. She was 30 grams :( when I got her from someone in a trade she had already been with a male, I seperated her out but it was too late. She has done well survived the breeding season has laid 2 clutches so far but is gaining weight in between up to 38 grams now... both she and the eggs seem to be doing well.
