Hey there, I know most of my post here have been me getting super worked up over the health of my dragon, but I ain't too sure where else to go.
I think my dragon may be getting ready to lay eggs. I believe that they are a female, as their pores after being taken care or have shrunk a bit. Also, the vet could not find a hemipenes when they x-rayed my beardie. Also, recently, sometimes when I rub their belly, it feels like they have some ovalish objects inside, and the ovalish objects roll slightly. They also have been having the same behavior as a regular beardie getting ready to lay eggs. They also have been nesting a lot, looking for safe comfy places where they can shape something like a blanket to better suite their body shape. They haven't been eating too much, and have been very lethargic, they also seem a bit more chunky than usual.
I could be completely wrong however.
Does my beardie seem healthy, and are they just getting ready to lay eggs, or does it seem like they're sick?
We are hopefully going to be making a vet appointment for them soonish, since their last check up was about a year ago.
Here are some photos I took today of them just a few moments ago. [ they are currently looking at me while I write this. ]
The light on your cell phone is bright enough.
What Karrieree was asking you to do is place your beardie flat on the table, gently curl it's tail over it's back and take a pic of the underside of the tail.
She looks good! I think it's normal for them to get lazy before laying eggs, especially right before laying. It's only an issue if they look like they might be starting to lose weight or show black beard/ other signs of illness.
If they do lay eggs make sure you feed extra bugs and calcium after! I thought I was out of the woods after Charlie's first lay but then she tried to lay again 3-4 weeks later, I was shocked how quickly it happened!
