My girl looks bigger and bigger, but she isn't eating, and has lost 17g in 10days. She is 17" and 404g. Most of the girls eat like crazy when they are gravid. She will pick at her greens, but doesn't even flintch at the crickets or the superworms. Any tips?

It's common for a dragon not to eat the last 7-10 days before laying. Their belly gets too full of eggs and no room for food.

I can see and feel the belly is full, but i can't feel or see eggs yet. Is that normal? When will they be able to felt/seen?

I couldn't see/feel mine until the last week before she had them. Is she digging at all? How long has it been since she has been with a male?
