Over the weekend my female dragon became restless and started digging. I noticed her belly was much rounder than normal and after a little research and inspecting her I believe she’s gravid. She’s right around a year old. I have made her a nesting box out of a large bin and wet playsand. I have put her in there for 2 days now and she digs a bit and then climbs out and runs all over the room and wants back into her terrarium. I am completely new to this and don’t know how to help her. I’ve had someone suggest I take her to the vet and watched plenty of videos that say it’s a simple process. What should I be doing? I am completely unprepared for this.

Building a dig box is a good start. Keep giving her time in there. It may be helpful if you start a tunnel for her. If she wants out, let her go back to her tank and try again later.
