 Do you think she is pregnant?

bearded dragon well over 18 months, was breed earlier this year and laid fertile eggs. breed again with another male, looked pregnant but shows no other signs other than being a bit pudgy.

also can a vet test if she is prego with a stool/urate sample?

Dragons can lay multiple clutches after one breeding session. I wouldnt go to the vet. Just make her a lay box and see if she lays another clutch. You can tell if they are pregnant by giving them a bath and rubbing their belly very softly. You should see what may look like marbles in her stomach if she is indeed carrying eggs. You should also be able too feel them.

Only if the dragon poops eggs, LOL. There’s a common chamber where urates, feces and the oviducts dump into, so they don’t literally poop eggs but eggs can come out if she strains to crap and she’s been holding the eggs in (poor nesting). She should just dig a hole, turn around, and lay eggs followed by filling the hole back in afterwards. She’ll look skinnier after laying.

The vet can likely palpate (feel) the eggs or will take an x-ray that will show them in her or not.

do you think it is ok to brumate her. i feel no eggs in her, she still is a little fat, but acting completely healthy.
