Question

Calypso I have my 7 month old female bearded dragon in with my 8 month old bearded dragon ( I know... but we all learn from our mistakes)
The male is significantly larger then the female.
Last week I started to notice her belly a bit droopy, she either has a big appetite or no appetite at all. This morning I caught her digging frantically in the corner of the tank all the way to the glass at the bottom....Could it be possible she is pregnant?
If she is... Is she for sure going to die? Or is there something I can do to save her?

Answer
Awww, she still looks like a baby.
You need a good laybox set up. The one I use is found at www.blackninjakitty.com. All the stuff is easy to get and set up for her. She may be trying to find a suitable place to lay her eggs and dry sand will not be that. Get a laybox done ASAP before she becomes eggbound.
Afterward, give her her own tank so she can rest and eat without male intimidation. The eggs, since she's such a little girl, would not produce the best young, it would be kinder to freeze the freshly laid eggs immediately before the embryos are more than a few cells and veins.
