Possibly getting ready to lay a clutch?

I took Apricot to the vet for a check up a month ago, and she was healthy but they did an ultrasound and determined she had a few follicles. She’s still eating, pooping, and very active but every now and then lately she’s been doing this stance. Could this possibly be preparing to lay her clutch? Thank you!

also, I did give her a dig box but she shows zero interest in it. She hasn’t been doing any digging really.

Hi there , well the signs that are common when they are close to laying are glass surfing or digging around the enclosure. They ususally eat a lot for a week or so before but then lose the appetite for a few days as they look for the spot to dig . Is she eating well, is she lethargic or mostly acting normal ? She just looks a little tired in that pic. :)

Thanks for the answer! She’s eating well, basking, and pooping. She only really glass surfs when she has to poop. For a few weeks she was very lethargic, but I upgraded her 12% UVB to a 14% which seems to have done the trick, considering it’s on a screen and there’s a good amount of distance between the basking spot and UVB

Oh you did mention she was eating and active so everything seems normal, nothing to indicate that she's looking to lay eggs. How big is she BTW ?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
