Just curious, is the lack of appetite an egg-laying thing? Clyde doesn’t dig very much, mostly just to get comfy. He has been like, laying down in the hide like he’s asleep but he’s actually awake. I’ll stop messing with him and taking him out, I just get worried he’s fired so I’ml get him and let him roam but if he’s gravid then I probably shouldn’t do that.She might be carrying eggs. Do you have a laybox set up ?
I would love to make a lay box in case he's gravid. I have a big bin I could use but I also have a 120 gallon tank and if I could leave him in the tank that would be better for me, so should I make the lay box in the tank? I know I need to get play sand and some other things, do you have a good link for a proper setup? He has been looking a little extra heavy considering the lack of appetite. Also I'm not sure parasites would make sense since he lost no weight during brumation, so gravid seems more likely. I really haven't been able to feel anything though, and he is not doing much digging in his enclosure really, just naps.Beardies mostly do lose their appetite but it's not usually for more than a week before laying. The average seems to be about 3 days before laying that they suddenly stop but it can be a few longer or shorter. Getting an ultrasound is up to you, and yes she would probably utilize one of her caves as a nesting area but you can't know for sure.
Okay, I have play sand and organic topsoil no additives and my bin. Gonna start researching and building. Should I put him in there in the morning? Do they sleep in there? He already went to sleep for tonight.The number of eggs can vary widely depending on your dragon. It can be as few as a dozen but usually 18-25. Sometimes more than that, even up to 40 but that's not common, especially for a first clutch.
