Hi my beardie is 17 months and never been near a male. She is healthy and a good weight. She seemed to be going through semi brumation a few weeks back then all of a sudden became very lively and active- digging, glass dancing, brightly coloured etc- very out of character for her since except for when she was a baby. She hasn't pooped in about a week (just urates) and stopped eating 4 days ago: advice given said she was likely to be about to lay. I put a deep lay box filled with moist sand in her viv 2 days ago, in the hot end. She has begun to burrow and has made a small cave in the sand but no eggs yet- i am wondering how long they usually burrow for before they lay?

Thanks for any advice and helping to ease my worry :)

Still no eggs (small poop but no eating either). She's still burrowing but she's not as restless as she was since i put the lay box in. I've been bathing her most nights to see if that would help but it hasn't. She looks happy enough but has been a bit more tired than usual at the end of her day of burrowing. Is there anything else i can do to help her? Should i take her to the vet or will nature take its course eventually? Thanks for any advice

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
