Gravid symptoms?

[XtinaBeardieMom]

So I've read plenty on here concerning symptoms of being gravid (not eating, runny little urates, glass dancing, scratching, etc.) but I was wondering how differently the symptoms can vary from one dragon to the next. My Lotus has been scratching an awful lot lately, wants to be out of her tank all the time, and hasn't stopped eating but her appetite has decreased a bit and she's gotten a lot pickier with what she'll eat. This has all been over the last 2 days or so. She also pooped out one little runny urate a few hours after a normal big poop. She has looked quite bloated lately too. So do I set up the lay box and start on the extra calcium even though she's still eating and such? For those of you who don't know, Lotus is a rescue guesstimated to be around 2 years old. I have no idea if she's ever been bred before, but I've had her for about 4 months now and have not had her around any male dragons.

Yes, If I were you I would get her a lay box and give her a bit more calcium. That way she will have the extra calcium if she needs it and a proper place to lay her eggs if she is going to, and therefore, less chance of getting eggbound.
