P.nigristriata eggs

Hi!

I keep a couple of P.nigristriata and I noticed the other day that the female is carrying eggs, only a few days from laying by the looks of her belly(really big with two white dots).
I consider my options of handling this as to either let the female lay the eggs in the tank and, if I´m lucky, I will find the eggs and be able to incubate them, or let he eggs incubate in the viv.
My other option would be to move the female to another viv were she will be housed until the eggs have been layed.
Any opinions on what the best alternative would be?

I would probably leave the female until after she's layed the eggs, since you dont want to overstress her by continually changing her enclosures. If you cant find the eggs, then you could perhaps move her to a different enclosure, but even then you could wait couple weeks after she's layed them before moving her into an unfamiliar setting.
Hopefully you're lucky and she lays them somewhere nice and easy to find!

I have put in different types of hollow tubes and elongated film canisters to provide suitable egg laying sites.
Is there any other kind of strategies to get the female to lay the eggs where you want them?
