Ok so Sammy is currently pregnant. She was pregnant last year as well but her eggs are unfertilized as she has not been with a male. Last year I did not know she was pregnant until she actually lay the eggs in her viv! lol This time around I pretty much know the signs, plus I can actually see them in her belly. What worries me is she has been so intent on digging and running about that she will NOT eat. The only thing she's eaten in over a week is one super worm and one wax worm!  I know that technically she should have a special lay box but last week she dropped three eggs in her viv without a problem but I know she has more that she's not laying GAAAAh it's so frustrating.  Angry

Our female laid 26 eggs the day before yesterday! Like you she was digging and digging within her Viv.  I got a paint tray and filled it with top soil, she then dug in that for a few days, once she had stopped digging we removed the soil, she laid the eggs in a shaded part of her Viv, took her about an hour.  We didn't disturb her until she was well and truly finished.

Once she was more settled we bathed her and then offered her a bowl of salad and wax worms which she bolted down!

Since then we have continued to soak her daily and offer her greens and worms.  She lost a third of her body weight in the process of the egg laying and her fat pads appear to be completely depleted.

Like your dragon she wouldn't eat prior to laying and was very restless.

Let nature take its course, I'm sure when she's done laying she will be hungry! Our lass is back to her normal self today and it's nice to see it!!!

It was our first experience with the whole egg laying thing also, just fortunate that I had read up on it all and knew what to expect and knew what her behaviour was implying.

Good luck with your lass anyway Smiley.
