Default egg laying

right my big ol' gilrly yemen has still not layed after 2 weeks!
theres a big plastic faunarium full of damp eco earth- coco bark stuff, and im worried because she aint eatin much. iv been shoving lettuce in her gob when she hisses at me ( she's angry! ) and she swallows it but she's not been taking crix off my hand or ( by the looks of things) eating many, if any, at all!

its humid in there so i cant see why she hasn't dug a hole yet!

your female will lay between 20 to 30 days after mating she will go off her food a few days before laying as long as you gave her extra calc and vits and kept her hydrated whilst she was producing the eggs she should be fine. as for being angry and pissed off at you welcome to gravid female yemen country.lol.
dont keep your yemen enclosure too damp this can be responsable for a variety of diseases and ailments. YEMENS DO NOT COME FROM DAMP HABITATS. its also important after she lays that your provide as much food as she wants and keep her hydrated.try usindg a syringe with her then you can monitor how much she is taking in without getting your enclosure damp.
have fun.
