One of my female ornates as been digging a nest every night for five days now. In the middle of the night she will abandon the nest for no apparent reason. She has laid eggs before with no issue so I'm not sure what this is about. She is still marching all over her enclosure and eating fine. How do I know if she is egg bound? I have never had any experience with this so I'm not sure what signs to look for.

They get sort of lethargic, quiet, no appetite and just lay around. Just keep her hydrated and warm. She should find a good spot and lay those eggs soon.
