Human females when they reach puberty, have a period every month and expel the unfertilized egg or eggs, regardless of whether they have had intercourse or not. Some people just reach puberty earlier than others.

Dragons develop eggs not in response to breeding but in the hope of finding a male. Therefore, your dragon will have just as many eggs with or without a male if her body decides to.

Yes, mine has laid 3 clutches totaling 48 eggs starting at 8 months. I agree this is unusual at her age but it happens and you should consider it. As I said, I didn't believe it either when she started acting gravid and wasted $176 at the vet for an ultrasound to find out something I really already knew.

Obviously, I don't know if you dragon is gravid (has eggs) or not but it is my best guess. You have to decide how to handle the no eating problem. But you need to do something.
