Should I move my gravid female?

[Olimpia]

I have a female that is due any day now. I've seen her digging around the enclosure where I keep her with a few other females, but nothing yet. So I'm wondering if separating her into a separate, solo enclosure would make her more comfortable? The only down side is that she wouldn't have any heat in there, but my room temp is close to 80 anyway. That and the whole moving her thing, that might be unneeded stress.

I wouldn't move her, especially due to the lack of heat, but that's just my opinion. I have three females in a tank and each of them lays just fine...she may not be ready yet, patience is a virtue, especially with leos and eggs.

I've got two girls in a tank and one hogs the laybox all the time *unless* it's close to the other's time to lay. Then she shares, lol

They seem to both be laying at the right time, though. I don't think living together has affected them at all

There are people who do breeding colonies with no problems. I would leave her where she is as long as you have a lay box ready for her in there.
