Thanks but - temps I thought of. Basking surface area is 145F and quite wide. Ambient is 85. Cold side is around 77. Humidity stays consistently between 70-85. All are regulated. I doubt sufficient heat and/or ability to thermoregulate are issues here.

The tail comment in my original post stated 'as of yesterday'. The animal's tail has been the size of a baby's arm for much of its life -- again until the last 36 hours. There here has been a noticeable - very recent decrease in mass only at the base.

Murrindindi - Thank you for the reply. What happens if the animal withholds the eggs? That - and adverse impacts to the animal's health - are the root of my concerns.
