i have looked everywhere and i can only find info about incubation and egg laying chambers ugh!

so my female just laid some eggs, i assume so because of constant digging and she is no longer "swelled up" and her tail has diminished noticeably.
now here is the problem i cant find the eggs.

any ideas?
how large are the eggs when first laid?
do i need to house the male separately when she is laying?

thanks for all the help.

Eggs are approx. 1" when laid, and you don't need to house the male separately while the females are laying.

do you have to remove the eggs from the mother or excavate them or do you just let nature take care of the eggs and it will turn out fine?

Dpending on whr it was laid it might have lost some water. On incubation substrate of the correct temp/humidity it should be ok.
