Nephrurus levis levis female laid only one egg

She laid on 10/2 sometime during the day. After she was continuing to dig. She did look skinnier but not as skinny as when she lays her usual clutches. So I searched around and only found one egg. She did eat 4 dusted medium-small crickets that night as well. She has stopped digging around during the day and I will check up on her tonight. My question is, is she going to lay that other egg? Did I foul something up by disturbing her to get the first egg? Thanks, help is appreciated.

She ate last night again dusted crickets. No sign of her digging anymore though

to lay that second egg.

maybe she doesnt have a second egg in her belly ? maybe this clutch was just one? thats possible

I had a female levis that often only laid one egg per clutch.

same think but with a female leo and a female milii...it's not a strange think.

it happens all the time. If she is eating then she is fine and most likely had only one egg. It wouldn't hurt to flip her over and take a quick look though

Yeah she is eating like a beast right now. Don't want to handle her, will assume she doesn't have that second egg and looking forward to my last clutch before coooling. I hope it will be 2 eggs like all her past clutches. Thank you all.
