Why do you think the yearling is gravid? As for lay boxes, a 6qt plastic bin with a hole cut in the lid and filled with damp sphagnum moss is what I use. Also, don't take the eggs as they are laid. While that one female may tolerate it, none of mine would and you risk stressing them. I check once a day and when i see eggs i leave the female alone for another 24 hours before removing the eggs from the lay box.
