My female is gravid at the moment and should lay in the next couple of days. I have a 10L tub 2/3 filled with soil/sand and peat mixture. When you buy it make sure it has no fertilisers in it!! You could use a cat litter tray if you want. Make sure the soil is warm and damp to!! She dug herself a nice big hole today so it wont be too long!!

When my Beardie layed her eggs I had over 300mm of potting mix banked up one end of the enclosure and she dug a tunnel right to the base of the enclosure, turned right and then layed! The tunnel would have been close to two foot long!
