I went to the vet for my beardie in late May about because I was concerned about Mica's gout, and the vet took an x-ray while we were there. He pointed out that she appeared to be gravid, and to watch for digging behavior.
It's now August and she hasn't shown these behaviors. How long should I wait before I worry? Behavior-wise she's normal; she's always been a little lazy and likes to lay around, but when I take her out she'll still run around and be alert and energetic. She's as curious as she ever was and her appetite has been fairly good for greens. Now and then there'll be a day when she won't take even a bite, but the next day she's usually hungry again.
I haven't seen any digging behavior from her, and glass sliding has been minimal. Looking around online it sounds like beardies lay eggs about 4 to 6 weeks after breeding, but would that be the same for infertile eggs? She hasn't been around any males, so I know they wouldn't be viable.
She's 16 months old and this will be her first clutch (and mine). I have small bin I've filled with damp dirt for her, but when I put her in it, she just tries to get out and doesn't take any interest whatsoever in the soil.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
