Hi!
Since my beardie layed eggs on Wednesday night she's had some light stress marks and I'm not sure why. She previously NEVER got stress marks. She's been eating great since she layed and the marks will disappear occasionally for about an hour (usually when she eats) and then they'll show back up. When she layed she stayed up 4 hours past her normal bed time so I think maybe she's just getting back into her schedule?
I also didn't realize how much of her weight was eggs! She's skinnier than I thought so I've been feeding her often. Could more feedings (a schedule change) be part of it? Anyone else experienced stress marks after eggs? She's alert and eating so I'm not too worried but still. Thanks!

You can offer more food than usual, even twice a day for a little while to help her put weight back on and in case she's developing more eggs.
