If you can give a few more details.

I use a nest box min of 10" deep and pack it down gently with moss peat, I then put a few branches leading to it. Then just leave her in piece.

15 inch deep scott do u think i am just worrying over nothing at the mo is it still early days

I found planting a potted small fig in the corner of the nest box helps, both of my yems laid under the pot. Just bury pot up to rim in the earth.

Cover viv with a towel so she don't get disturbed and leave her to it mate. She will lay when time is right sound close though
