Recently our bearded dragons stomach has gotten very big. She seems to any okay haven't noticed any discoloration change in activity etc. Is this common for dragons or could she be ready to lay eggs? There's no male or other dragon with her in her enclosure.

Thanks for reaching out about Cobra. Females can form and lay eggs without a male, they're just non-fertile, similar to many chicken eggs. Monitor appetite and defecation. Females will often stop eating close to laying period. If concerned, a veterinary visit is needed to confirm she is gravid (with eggs). Good luck.
