Hi,
I have a large enclosure, that has sifted playsand in it. One of my female beardies that is about 14" decided that today, being the first day in the sand, would bury herself literally right under it. My wife couldnt find her and she was under for approx 8-10 hours.
When I got home I was able to find her by raking through with my hands, and pulled her out. My first thought was "How can she still be alive without suffocating?!" She doesn't generally each much but this caused me concern as the other females in the enclosure all eat like pigs!
I've had her approx a month now and in general she doesn't spend much time under the heat. She should only be approx six months old now and I have never seen this.
Should I be concerned for her spending long hours under sand?
Thanks.
PS: After checking her over she seems fine and I cant see any traces of egg development.
