Hi there, I'm new to the group so hey everyone!
I have two beardies (among many other reptiles), both of which are female and my concern is for my sub adult (cb16). She has been "nesting" for roughly 3 months now. I regularly check that she doesn't have any eggs, I even tried providing a lay box which she explored and then completely ignored. She is eating, pooping and shedding well so I guess her health isn't the biggest problem but someone suggested she might need to be introduced to a male to "get it out of her system". Can anyone please share their advice? She has always been active but now she just wants to lie under the same hide in the same corner of the viv and dig. I've checked all the usuals, and if it weren't for the fact her appetite hasn't decreased I would probably have put it down to a juvenile attempt at brumation. Now I wonder if it is some kind of "phantom pregnancy"?
Any and all advice/shared experiences are very much appreciated.
