Hey do y'all think my lizard's pregnant?
She absolutely won't stop surfing her tank and she's quite mellow. Plus she eats so so much, to the point where her stomach is hard as a rock. I sent picks of her, and as you can see she's quite tiny, but her stomach is huge compared to the rest of her body
Thanks for the feedback

(btw sorry for the awful pics)

Generally they stop eating a couple weeks before they lay. Some parasites can cause bloating, i would get a fecal done just to be safe. Collect it yourself and take it in within 24 hours and don't let the vet do an enema under any circumstances it can end in tragedy

She has stopped eating, and when I very gently stroke her tummy, I can feel bumps
However, they're not apparent, so I'm assuming they're infertile

Give her a dig box if she is gravid she will be looking for a place to lay them.

I second the dig box, it's always good to be prepared. And they usually stop eating just a few days before laying, not weeks, but some dragons will continue to eat up to the day that they lay. She may be getting ready to lay or might just be doing the restless digging behavior that both females and males do at times. Sometimes they do it before brumation too but it doesn't usually last long before they settle down for sleep.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
