Currently, I have a gravid hypo tangerine leopard gecko that is refusing to lay. She is clearly gravid (will post pictures later) and has been for about 2 weeks now (almost 3). However, she is not even attempting to lay. There have been only a few, half-hearted attempts to dig in her lay box. At first I believed it was egg binding, but she does not seem to be in distress or struggling or anything; she is merely not attempting to lay them. I have been waiting to see if maybe she re-absorbs them, but there have been no signs indicating such an action. What do you guys believe is happenning, and what is the best course of action? Thanks!

If its only been about 3 weeks, imo it's too soon to worry. They're reproductive systems vary. I have some that lay every 10-11 days others every 20+ days. I have seen posts were some held eggs for 3 months, but this is rare. Best of luck.
