beardie is huge

I would shoot Drache613 a PM. She's really quite knowledgable and may have seen this before!

She is oddly bloated, but it appears that way because of how she's standing. Has she ever been with a male ? How long have you had her ? At 10 months she's pretty young to have developed infertile eggs, but that may be the case. And if she's been with a male, then she is almost surely gravid. If she starts digging around her tank, you'll know she's about to lay. Most females will be non- stop hungry, but then also stop eating a few days before laying. There is a good tutorial in the breeding forum about what to do if your beardie is going to lay eggs.

How is she? Were u able to get some advice? I will be thinking of you tonight. I hope all is well

Hello,

She appears pretty bloated. She could have eggs at 10 months of age. Is she housed alone?
How large are the feeders you feed her? They should be smaller than the space between the eyes to help avoid impaction.
I would feel gently for some eggs, but a vet visit would be a good idea. They can do an x-ray on her to determine if she has eggs or is impacted.

Let us know how she is doing. Is she acting normal otherwise?

I could do xray at work. I work in xray dept. I give her large ones. Maybe I should do small. What can I do for bloating.I don't have alot of money fire a special vet. I was giving her alot of waxworms. Which could be a problem so I stopped. I'm just puzzled...
