    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

HELP!!!!!

I have three females right now that I think are pregant any ideas to tell that they are/aren't??? One was expected to drop eggs three weeks ago and I haven't gotten any, I have a proven male who looks like an idot the girls are submisive but he doesn't do anything same goes for my other male, so if you have any ideas on how to fix this it would great.
Thanks
Steve
 
Hey Steve,if you post this in the bearded dragon discussion forum,you will get some answers.If your dragon was supposed to lay 3 weeks ago but hasn't,she was probably never gravid to begin with.As far as your male goes,you can try separating them and then after a while put the females in his cage and you may get a different reaction. He may not want to breed at the time,nothing you can do.
 
But the thing is I don't think his head is gonna stay on for much longer with all the bobbing he's been doing

If she was supposed to drop eggs, there is a good possibility that you can feel some small (small grape sized) lumps inside of her belly. This is not always possible, but I have quite a few females that I easily can feel.
***Be careful not to push on the eggs, you can cause a rupture inside of her and cause serious health issues and/or death.***
Of course, the only way to be 100% sure is to have and ultrasound performed on her at your local herpetological veterinarian. They should be able to show you the follicles/eggs inside of her if she is in deed gravid.

Though, as Angie stated, if it was around three weeks ago you expected her to drop. Chances are, that she was never in fact gravid. Though, there is a chance that she has become egg bound, due to improper laying conditions being offered to her. Does she dig rambunctiously? Or roam her cage relentlessly?

If she is exhibiting any of those behaviors, place her in a lay bin. There is a nice thread about the lay bin subject in this very forum.

As far as the breeding issue actually goes, sometimes they just aren't in the mood to mate. I have had several issues with getting pre-shed animals to be sexually active. Other times, a previous breeding pair will just refuse to copulate that day. The very next day (or even just a few hours later), they will readily engage each other. I even have a female that is monogamous, i.e. she will only mate to my brutish orange german giant and none of my other males.

Good luck!
