Ive kept and bred them before too, pretty much the same as Jackie.
I only kept a small saucer of sand in there enclosure after losing one due to impaction caused by eating sand. I havent seen any around lately though, but will keep my eyes open for you.

Unlike Jackie i keep mine on sand which keeps them busy,digging,so be sure to put any rocks on the viv base before putting sand in.They also bury the eggs by digging pits in the sand and filling them in.This is my 3rd year with them and they seem easy to keep.Mine are kept pretty much like leos but with hides etc on a smaller scale.I don't use UV but vit dust once a week.They also have a calcium dish in there all the time.
I keep my females together but have seperated the male due to him being a pest.
I've lost 1 female due to her going into a fast egg cycle but the other 2 seem ok and produced a clutch every 2-3 weeks.I still don't know why this happened,perhaps Jackie or someone else does.

I used to use sand as a substrate until one died from ingesting it - I changed to a small area of sand - they still laid their eggs there.
Mine produced eggs around every three weeks too.

I lost both my adults females to the same thing Steve. Both were laying eggs in 3 week cycles, even though the male was not present.
