Needing Help!!!!

Hello, I was given a female dragon almost 6 months ago by a friend and she is now a year and a half, 2 months ago I was also given a male by the same person which is the same age as the female. They showed signs of mating with the head bobbing and the arm waving, so I put them in the same cage for a week and off a week. Then on the third week they mated. Now a month later my female won't eat (hasn't for the past week) got a big tummy and acting sluggish. I have an incubator ready to go and my female is in her lay box with 2 inches of topsoil for the bottom layer and potting soil for the rest of the 6 inches of soil. I have made her a ditch like hole in the lay box but she wont move all that much (sluggish like) and her eyes look like they are moving in her skull (indented) for the past 3 days. She still wont eat! I'm worried for her that she is holding the eggs in...what should I do?!?

Some females are very particular about their laybox.  Did you set it up in her enclosure or in a separate box?  Do you have a heat light over the laybox so that the substrate is warm and moist?  What is the temp in the laybox?
What brand and how old is your UVB?
it's not uncommon for females to go off food just before they lay, and at 3 weeks, she's not in any real danger, but how do you know she didn't mate before then?  Was the male removed when you weren't present?

For now, give her a nice long warm bath, and see if you can answer the questions.
