Default Lygodactylus Williamsi Laid Her Eggs?

I think my female Williamsi has possibly laid her eggs today but I can't see them anywhere. She has been going around the tank today non stop almost looking like she was trying to find the perfect spot and also appeared to have a small bulge coming out her side. I couldn't see her in the tank for a while and she has just appeared minus the bulge.
I have a few concerns. If I can't see them I can't protect them from being knocked, also I need too mist tank and I have read you shouldn't spray eggs. Finally worried about crickets harming the eggs.
Help required please.

Common places: Inside bamboo. Down in leaf axials of bromeliads. In a crevice in a piece of wood. Between the glass and anything touching it or very near it.

Good luck. Sometimes they can hide them better than you can find them.

Agreed, they can hide them well. When my lygo laid her clutch, she hid them really well in a crevice of cork. I did not find them until a few days later, well at least the remains. Sadly she had eaten them (this is not too uncommon with first clutches).

Also while repeated heavy mistings of eggs would not okay. I have found the eggs can take a bit more water than people often think.

Cheers guys I will maybe take a few thinks out of tank as there are a few crickets which have grown to big that I could do with removing from tank. I am guessing crickets will eat the eggs as they will eat anything. Thanks again.
