Female Beardie has a hard egg shaped bump on on her bottom left side

i was giving my female bearded dragon a bath and as i was giving her a scrub i noticed a round shaped lump maybe the size of 2 marbles on her side (bottom left). i thought it could be her stomach but her stomach is no where near there. she’s eats fine, walks fine, poops fine, she has uvb and the correct temperatures. i have also noticed her to be a little bloated. any recommendations ??

Hello,

Please review your tank setup & nutrition, etc with us, as well as post a few pictures of her so we
can see her physical condition too.
Is her beard normal color or darker than normal?
Does she seem to be bothered by it if you touch that area, like her feeling pain?

Hello,

Hm, that is interesting Her beard is a little dark. I am not sure what that is, at the moment. There aren't any other lumps on the other side?
It "could" be a couple of eggs but normally it doesn't appear that way unless they are lodged or stuck. I would try to get an x-ray if at all possible to help determine what is going on.
Is she still doing well?

i think her beard was dark from me moving and poking at her, i have made an appointment for her and she’s doing good, still the same ! also, she hasn’t been bred nor do i plan on breeding her but she recently had an interaction with my male bearded dragon so im thinking it could be eggs.

Hello,

Oh no, that is a definite possibility. So if there are eggs, they are probably going to be fertile.
When is your vet appointment?
How is she doing today, any behavior changes thus far?

Hello,

No, they wont be fertile if they didn't mate. They will be infertile, so it may be hard to determine
which it is. How is she doing today?

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
