I have owned many snakes in my life, But now I have adopted a dragon. She doesnt seem to be interested in esting as much as she was before. If the crickets walk up to her she will eat them. She seems bored with the meal worms. Salad no luck, but she is digging all the time and I do mean all the time. Temp is good. cage is set up nice, Full spectrum and all. If you have any ideas I would love to hear.

Thanks Mike

Has she been exposed to a male? How old is she? Can you feel eggs? Not eating and constant digging are signs of being gravid and ready to lay. They can do this with or without being exposed to a male, of course they would be infertile if she hasn't had a male. I'd try giving her a lay box and see what happens. Basically take a really large rubbermaid tub and pile moist dirt 10-15" deep on a slope at one side. Point a light at it to keep it warm and drop her in. She should go dig a tunnell and lay. That would be my first guess, someone else may have other ideas.

Nope no male contact at all. She is only about 10-11 months old, so I'm not sure what the deal is

its also possible that this may be a prelude to burmation. Still, i'd offer a lay box incase she is gravid.
