Put her away in the dark and resist the urge to check on her for at least 2 weeks. Trust me I know how difficult it is. But think of it this way. Even if she lays eggs, it will take up to 10 weeks for them to develop into nanitics, so you won't be missing out on anything.

Keep us posted! (in 2 weeks time)
