Thanks. Really appreciate your input!

My son also has a pair of aligator lizards (southern, I think, based on the egg laying, vs. live birth) that he caught, individually, we then were really little. They've grown to about a foot long, from tip to tail. We were moving them to a bigger tank a few weeks ago and found a single egg under the water dish. Based on a advice from a friend, we removed the egg to discard, because it had sunk in some. She said it wasn't viable.

Turns out there was an embryo in side (my son was curious to see what was inside). Guess that answers the question about what sex they were. It doesn't appear that she's laid anymore eggs, but she seems to be hiding in the substrate. Is this normal?
