    so one of my gravid females wont lay her eggs. she looks like she has been ready for a while, and i put a moist box in with her for her to lay them. i hope she is not eggbound. how can i tell if she is and if she is, how do i fix it?

    this is what she looks like

    yes but the way i was holding her did not hurt her at all, or stress her out, and it she wont drop her tail

    Please don't hold your leo by the tail anymore!!! I promise that she will eventually drop it if you keep doing that.

    Has she still been eating and pooping? Has her activity level changed at all and have you noticed any digging?

    If she goes on like that for much longer it wouldn't hurt to take her in for a check-up or consult with a reptile vet over the phone just to be sure that things are going at a normal pace.
