One of my female leopard geckos looks really close to laying her eggs, she is really chubby and was giving off signs she was going to. But now, she hasn't been digging a single bit, while my other female is ripping apart her laybox. Im worried that she could be egg bound, how do I tell if she is and treat it?

How to treat a possibly egg bound gecko?

Give her a warm soak and then leave her alone. If she starts looking really lethargic, take her to a reptile vet. Sometimes they go for a long time looking as if they're going to lay before anything happens. I often keep putting my ready to lay females in the lay box if they're not going themselves and they eventually get there. The vet is the only way to tell for sure.

It doesn't really seem like it...
how long has she been gravid?
does she seem lethargic or less alert than usual?
have you ever seen her raise her back legs and strain as if she's trying to push something without producing eggs?
does she get a good amount of calcium?
is there any way that she could've been exposed to parasites?
is her tail fat?
-sorry this is kind of late...I just realized after writing all of this - this probably isn't a problem for you anymore
