My dragon is 9 months old and has been digging for over a week. The part she is digging at she can see herself and continues to dig for a good 10-20 mins. Should I be worried at all about this, if not what can I do to fix it. Thanks!

I am guessing that she may have eggs, and wants to lay them. It doesn't matter if she hasn't been with a male, as female beardeds can lay unfertilized eggs.
lay box- 18 qt rubbermaid with lid. 1 bag of play sand. 1 bag of potting soil. 1 belled clamp on shop light.
Mix the sand and soil together to get a nice clumping composition. Add just enough water so that when you take a pinch between your fingers, a drop of water comes out. Shove that to one side of the bin. Take the lid and cut a hole that leaves half open to the air, half covered.
Clamp the light on, pointing to the opposite side where the mixture is.
Place your girl, and allow her to do as she wills. This may take several days, during which she will not want food or water.
When she is done, remove her, bathe her, and return her to her viv as normal.
Take the eggs, freeze them and dispose.
Hope this helps !
Janie.
Oh, you will also want to bump up her feeding and calcium intake as this is very draining on your girl.

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!
