I think one of my girls is pregnant and I am looking for pictures of a belly right before laying the eggs. How obvious are the bumps? Thanks for any pictures or suggestions.

I dont have a photo offhand, but you can DEFINETLY tell that the dragon is gravid, especially right before egglaying. Palpate (feel/push softly) against her abdomen and see if you can feel firm eggs, usually you can. If you cant feel anything there, set her in warm bath for 10-15 minutes for a good soak, and right after about the 10 minute mark she will stop bloating and suck it in, making it easier to softly palpate her and find the eggs (if she does indeed have them).
Good luck!
