Two days ago I was looking at my young adult dragon and noticed she was 'lumpy'...yep with eggs. Anyway, I was wondering what everyones best guess at to the time lag from visualy lumpy to giving birth?

Generally from about 15 minutes to 1 day. If you can see and feel them they need to get out ASAP. Get her in a laying box.

I have her in a 4 ft. vision cage. The substrate is sand with stone hides. She digs under the stone hides to make them deeper...
This should be fine I would think... Do you think I should offer her something diffrent?

Hi. You are best to use a peat and sand mix in a deep container but one that she can get into. She has to be comfortable with it or she will hold onto the eggs. DONT let her lay them in the substrait. This could infect your eggs. Also, place the digging box down the cool end of the tank and do it as soon as possible because if you can see the eggs in her she is going to lay now!!!
