My beardie laid 21 eggs 1 month ago. She did fine and has been eating like a little piggy since. She has been pooping twice a day regularly for the past few weeks. The past few days, she began looking very full or bloated and I assumed at first she was going to lay her 2nd clutch, but I can't palpate any eggs. She feels empty. This morning she ate a few bites, but not too much and wouldn't poop. I gave her a warm bath and she started to poop and seemed to strain a little at the end.
I'm not sure if she is forming more eggs or if this is just normal readjusting after everything being smushed when she was so full of eggs. She is acting normal, basking and moving around, but her belly is very big. She weighs 298g. That's pretty normal for her. I know she swallows air when nervous, so she might just be doing that. Her belly just feels and looks large.
Any ideas on how to know if she needs medical help or is just beginning to grow her second clutch? I figured it would have happened by now.
