but I thought maybe if you felt small bump like things in her tummy she may be looking for a place to lay eggs.

Um, Does she have anywhere to dig in your cage? Maybe you should set up a container with some moist vermiculite and see if she's trying to lay eggs, or at the least set something up with some wheat bran so she can do some diggin'.

I'd say as long as she's not losing weight or have any other signs of health problems maybe she's just wanting to dig. My beardie frequently digs in his box of bran I have set up for him. No rhyme or reason really, he just goes in there a couple times a day, digs and moves the bran around, makes a mess then climbs out and starts basking again with bran in top of his head. They are silly, that's for sure!!
